As we make our way through the sea of tables in the Amazon room we see Jim Leinenbach sitting behind a mountain of chips. Leinenbach was moved to a new table earlier with 60,000, then caught fire doubling up twice in a matter of minutes.

In the latest hand of his heater, three players saw a flop of {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Nick Schwarmann got his last 55,000 all in holding {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}. Unfortunately for Schwarmann, Leinenbach was holding {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}.

Two community cards later Schwarmann was eliminated and Leinbach vaulted to the top of the chip counts.
