Event 1: Million Chip March

$500 + $60 Big Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

It was projected that the end of night chip leader would be in the 500k range, but Paul Spitzberg (Tenafly, NJ) is on fire and up to 920k.

"A very tough call," he says, after being put to the test with pocket 7s on a 6 high flop.  Spitzberg's opponent bricks an open ended straight draw, with a pair, and is now on the rail.

Spitzberg adds 400k to his stack and has a strangle hold on the $3,000 bonus to the end of night chip leader, while a couple of players are in the 500k range and going for the $2,000 bonus that goes to runner-up.

Level 18 (3k/6k/500 ante), the last level of the night, is underway.
