Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Aurelius

The regally named Marcus Aurelius has built what is by far the biggest stack in the room, and he is wielding that power to perfection, conquering everything in sight.

Two recent hands saw Aurelius reraise after an opponent opened, and both times his aggression earned him an easy pot.

First, a player opened for 1,700 from under the gun, and Aurelius casually announced a raise while tossing out five yellow T1000 tournament chips. His opponent folded to the pressure, and another pot was pushed to the tournament's reigning emperor.

A few hands later, another player tried to enter the pot for a raise of 1,600, and once again Aurelius popped it with a three-bet to 5,000. His opponent couldn't stand the heat, and Aurelius added another wing to his enormous chip palace.
