Perennial Seneca threat Joseph Elia has just made a strong move up the leader board, all thanks to being on the right side of a massive cooler.

He got his 76,000-chip stack in with pocket aces against a player with just a little less, holding just a little less: {k-}{k-}.

The board ran out {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, aces held, and if Elia wasn't a player before, he certainly is now, sitting on 160,000-plus.
