David Melman got it all in preflop for about 900K with QxQx, but he needed to improve to stay alive against the AxAx of Scott Levitt.

A queen fell on the river to give Melman the double-up with a set of queens, and Levitt had to take a brisk walk away from the table to cool off after the bad beat.

David Melman  –  1,975,000  (49 bb)
Scott Levitt  –  750,000  (19 bb)

We’ve also spotted the first chip stacks above the three-million mark, with Craig Varnell leading the way and Kevin Blewitt not that far behind.

Craig Varnell  –  3,350,000  (84 bb)
