Over at the main feature table, Phil Galfond used that first hour of play to push his stack over the 2 million-chip mark and into what appeared to be the chip lead at the break.

On the first hand back, Galfond opened with a raise to 20,000 from under the gun, and the table folded back around to Gianluca Speranza in the small blind who reraised all in for a total of 147,000. It folded to Galfond who thought about a minute before making the call.

The community cards came , and Speranza doubled back to about 300,000. Galfond is still near the top of the counts with 1.86 million.
