Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Throughout his glorious career in the National Hockey League, legendary New Jersey Devils defenseman Ken Daneyko held the greatest trophy in all of sport above his head in 1995, 2000, and 2003. As a three-time Stanley Cup champion, Daneyko is no stranger to success in the realm of competition, but if he keeps it up here tonight, he'll have another trophy to add to his collection.

Daneyko just claimed a huge pot from Mike Sandler with an aggressive c-bet shove, after 145,000 from each player went into the pot before the flop.

The flop came down and with the pot already swelled, Daneyko went for the kill, moving all in from under the gun and putting Sandler to the test. The power play worked wonders and Daneyko's forced the fold, building his stack well above the average.

"I played in the charity tournament put on by the WPT and PartyPoker," he told us during the recent break. "But after this grind, playing since 11 in the morning, I'd rather get smashed into the boards." If Daneyko keeps pushing his opponents around like he did Sandler, the night may over sooner than he thinks.
