Defending champion Martin Kozlov has been improving his chances for repeating last year’s run. He began the day with 95,000 but now sits with 207,000 after a nice run of cards.

As the dealer explained, Kozlov hit quads in one hand then she put quads on the next board and his kicker played to send him that pot.
