Ghassan Toubia (Deerfield Beach, FL) 

Megan Endres (Coral Springs, FL) was coming off of a big chop of the $360 No Limit Hold'em event during the Florida State Poker Championships, and seemed to be poised to make another super deep run.  After Endres opened UTG to 25,000, action would fold around to Ghassan Toubia on the button.  Toubia would three-bet shove (860,000), clearing out the blinds, and leaving Endres to make her decision.  Megan would quickly call, and after Ghassan turned over J♦ J♠, Endres would follow by tabling K♠ K♣.

The dealer would fan out a flop of 2♥ 8♦ 9♣, with Jaki Cohen standing and saying to Megan, "You got this."  Just after he said that, the J♥ appeared on the turn, giving Toubia a commanding lead (that Megan wouldn't be able to overcome on the river).  Endres took the loss in stride, wishing her table mates good luck.  Ghassan becomes the first player to eclipse the million chip mark, and leads the five-table field.

Ghassan Toubia - 1,100,000 (91bb)
