Lots of chips on these tables, even after the recent color-up. The average stack at the moment is over 450,000. Lots of chips means big pots, and we just had one again over at David Saab's table.

James McManus raised to 18,000 preflop, Brian Hansen called, Eric Tom called, then Saab raised to 60,000. McManus folded, Hansen reraised all in for 480,000 total, Tom folded, and Saab called.

Hansen {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Saab {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

"I'm gonna have to win races to win the World Series," exclaimed Saab. Tom then said he had folded ace-king. "I'm against four outs!" said Saab.

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}, and Hansen is out. Saab is now up to 1.5 million.

This table -- Table #1 in the Blue section -- might have the most chips of any at the moment. Three players have over a million: Saab, Matt Matros (1.1 million), and McManus (1.1 million). And David Benefield is there, too, with about 900,000. Then again, we have a lot of newly-created millionaires around the Amazon.
