Medina, NY's Matt Heiligenthaler has risen from relative obscurity to become the first player past the one-million mark and move into the chip lead.

He won a more than 600,000-chip pot flopping a set of nines, getting it in against the nut-flush draw and fading all trouble.

After picking off a few short stacks later on, he hit seven figures and the top of the counts here in Level 21.
