Event 1: New Leader?
Erik Lefkowitz may have lapped the field chips-wise, as we haven't seen anyone within 100,000 of him.
Lefkowitz was a bit fortunate in amassing such a massive stack, but you need a little luck to win at this game anyhow.
Holding 
, Lefkowitz called two players' all-in bets, and found himself ahead of one opponent, but behind the 
of another.
The first four board cards rolled off innocently enough, and Lefkowitz was in danger of having his stack decimated, but a 
on the river turned the tide in an instant. With his set on the river, Lefkowitz scored the double elimination, and built what has to be the biggest stack in the room.
