Gyorgy Cseke (Tamarac, FL)

Day 2 players are heading on their second break of the day, and will be returning to blinds of 4,000/8,000/1,000 (Level 19).  The tournament staff will be coloring off the purple chips (500 denomination) during the break, which will make things a little easier to eye-down (for updated counts).  The pot of the tournament was played at one of the outer tournament tables moments ago, as Gyorgy Cseke becomes the first player to join the millionaires club. 

Cseke opened to 17,000, with Michael Newman then three-betting to 75,000.  After action folded back around to Gyorgy, he would four-bet rip for over 560,000.  Newman immediately called, turning over pocket kings, and waiting to see Cseke's hand:

Cseke: A♠ K♣

Newman: K♥ K♦

Runout: 10♥ J♠ 2♣ 5♥ Q♣

Newman had some choice words for Cseke after the river gave Gyorgy a straight, continuing to lament his misfortune as he headed towards the payout podium.

Gyorgy Cseke - 1,125,000 (141bb)

Michael Newman - Eliminated
