Lucian Mariuta won a pot just before the break that put him atop the leaderboard. Genevieve Dsouza opened the action to 33K from the middle position, and Lucian 3bet too 100K from the hijack. Ramnik Singh then moved all-in from the cutoff for 106K, and Stephen Nahm came along for the ride from the button. Genevieve mucked her hand, and Lucian threw in the extra 6K to go 3-way to the flop.
With 
showing, Lucian fired 200K first-to-act, forcing Stephen out of the hand. With no more action left, players were asked to open their hands – Ramnik tabled a pair of 
but found himself trailing the 
of his opponent. The dealer rung out a 
turn and 
river, then shipped the pot to Lucian, who climbed above 1-million with that hand, taking over the chip-lead.
Below are the top counts at this second break of the night. 4 more levels remain before players bag their chips onto Day 3.
