Matthew Ehrlich (Garden City, FL)

Matthew Ehrlich's shirt isn't the only eye-popping thing at his table...his chip stack is also raising some eyebrows.  Ehrlich came into Day 2 fifth in chips (296,000), and has spent a majority of his day increasing that number.  Although the action in the hand was missed, Ehrlich just won a massive pot to eclipse the 1,000,000 chip mark, leading the field by a pretty large margin.

Ehrlich is back in action after a short time off, having earned over $100,000 in tournament cashes from 2007-2010, but then having a gap with no results from 2011-2015.  Matthew won a tournament earlier this year at Hard Rock ($350 No Limit Hold'em Bounty - $4,000), and is clearly "back."

Matthew, along with the remaining (54) players, will be heading on their second break of the day (at the end of this level).  Action will resume in Level 23, with blinds of 10,000/20,000/3,000 (375,000 chip average).
