More than 3 million chips were just transferred from David Heck's stack to the increasingly massive castle built by Nicholas Immekus.

The board read {6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{j-Spades}{2-Spades} by the turn and Heck fired out a cool million, but Immekus was game and he came along to see the {5-Spades} float down the river.

When Heck slowed down by tapping the table, Immekus made it 1.9 million and Heck called fairly quickly, only to muck when he saw Immekus reveal the {4-Spades}{6-Spades} for a runner-runner flush. Heck flashed the {j-Diamonds} to show he wasn't getting out of line with his turn bet, and the pot was pushed to the chip leader.

Shortly thereafter, Heck open-shoved for the remainder of his now shortened stack, and he was snapped off by Allyn Marshall and his {A-Spades}{j-Diamonds}.

"I got ten-eight," Heck announced while tabling {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, much to Marshall's surprise.

"Why you gotta make a move with that?" responded Marshall, obviously perturbed that he did not have a weak ace dominated.

The flop of {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds} was safe enough for Marshall, but the {8-Spades} on the turn had him shouting obscenities as only a New Jersey native can. When the {4-Clubs} completed the board on the river he continued cursing his bad luck, before retaking his seat and returning to the fray.
