Daryl Jace, your tournament leader.

Daryl Jace opened for 2,700 and Billy Paradiso raised to 22,000. Don Nguyen, on Paradiso's left raised to 52,300. Jace reraised to 130,000, Paradiso shoved all in, Don Nguyen folded and Jace called.

Nguyen and Jace both had huge stacks at the start of the hand, each with over 400,000. The hands were tabled and they were off to the showdown.

Jace: {2-Clubs} {2-Hearts}
Paradiso: {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}

With a team of ESPN production and every field reporter within eyesight flocking to the table, the dealer peeled off the flop. Right in the window was the {2-Spades} and everyone heard Paradiso sigh. The flop was {7-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {2-Spades} and the turn was {8-Clubs}. Paradiso was drawing to one of the two remaining kings for his tournament life and possible chip lead.

The river came {A-Spades} and Paradiso grabbed his sweatshirt and covered his face as he exited the Amazon Room. With that pot Jace climbs to the top of the counts, teasing with the 1,000,000 mark.
