With an average stack of just under 360,000, Tom Hunnicutt sits on 2,650,000. That’s not a typo.

2,650,000.

It was on the last hand before the most recent break when the flop fell with two hearts. There was three-way action as a player shoved into Hunnicutt. He called and the player behind Hunnicutt moved all-in, too. Hunnicutt called that all-in as well and the hands were tabled.

Hunnicutt: for sixes full
Player 1: for trip nines
Player 2: for a flush draw

Hunnicutt’s monster never relinquished the lead and he went on to bust both players and stack a pot in excess of 2,500,000.

He is the overwhelming chip leader to start Level 22.

Tom Hunnicutt – 2,650,000

The player count recently dipped below 100 and the tournament is consolidating more and more by the minute. Siblings Sean and Michelle Shah have each played their way through a huge portion of this field and it was inevitable they’d face off eventually.

That face off is currently going at Table 19 as Michelle owns Seat 1 and Sean occupies Seat 9. The mood is light with Kelly Minkin and South Florida grinder James Salmon also at the table.

At present, Sean has the edge over his sister with about 190,000 to her 110,000.

Sean Shah – 190,000
Michelle Shah – 110,000

More than two tables worth of players have hit the rail early on Day 2 as it’s been an action-packed restart. John Holley was recently facing a raise to 8,500 and promptly jammed 113,000. The player folded and Holley chipped up some more from his 101,500-chip starting stack.

Michael Newman, meanwhile, has found different fate. He was spotted heading out the door after recently going bust.

John Holley – 123,000
Michael Newman – Eliminated
