: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
In the first hand after break, Dan Murariu three-bet over the initial raiser, who then moved all-in. Murariu called, and turned over 
. His opponent turned over 
. The stacks were pretty close to even, so whichever player lost would either be eliminated or crippled. The board ran out 
, and Murariu's pocket kings won the pot.
After the dealer counted out the stacks, it turned out Murariu just barely had his opponent covered. After scoring the bustout and nearly doubling up, Murariu sits with 160,000. He's now near the top of the leader board.
