A series of two hands in quick succession has catapulted Sam Datta into the stratosphere, as he now holds more than 2 million chips.
On the first huge win, Datta was involved in a massive three-way confrontation, which we caught with the flop showing 
. The small blind checked to Datta in the big blind, and he knuckled the felt as well, prompting the third player the hand to shove for his last 230,000.
The small blind player flatted that bet - leaving himself 731,000 behind - and with the action back on him Datta then moved all in over the top. His bet was for 516,000 more, meaning the small blind would have to call off most his stack to continue in the hand.
That player went deep into the tank as a crowd of onlookers, fellow players and tournament staff hovered around the table. Finally, the man showed an ace and threw his hand away, leaving Datta to showdown with the flop shover.
Datta: 
Opponent: 
Both players had hit the flop hard, but Datta's set gave him a hammerlock on the hand, and the turn (
) and river (
) kept him out in front. That huge pot gave Datta about 1.7 million, and within a few deals he surged over the 2 million mark by eliminating the small blind player from the previous hand.
This time, Datta made trips with 
on the 
flop, which crushed his opponent's 
. The turn came 
and the river to solidify his lead, and with that, Datta became the man to beat with just 24 players left.
