Event 1: Macchia Extends Lead

$500 + $60 Deep Stack NL (2 Re-entry)  

The chips are flying around the tables right now.  Joshua Supsak is back up to almost 1.7 million. 

Erik Rappaport raced his AK against a shorter-stacks pocket Jacks.  A King on the board gave Erik a double-up to ~1.7 million.

Steven Macchia continues to gather chips.  He's up to ~2.2 million now.

 Vittorio Faricelli

Yat Cheng (Charlotte, NC) got his last chips in the middle on a J J 2 flop, holding pocket 9s.  Unfortunately for Cheng, Vittorio Faricelli (Maspeth, NY) was holding pocket Aces.  No help for Cheng and he was busted in 59th place ($1,785).  Vittorio chipped up to over 700k.

58 players remain.
