Andrew Lichtenberger started the day with the chip lead and had a shot to become a massive chip leader three-handed. But he'd have to race for his tournament life against Sepiol.

The hand began with "Lucky Chewy" limping from the small blind for 2,500,000, and then Sepiol, in the big blind, making it 8,500,000. The three-bet to 32,500,000 followed, and then an all in jam for 142,300,000. Sepiol made the call and off to the races they went.
