We saw McLean Karr sitting on a healthy stack, and he was kind enough to tell us how he got all those chips.
As he told it, an under-the-gun player opened for 700 and a player in middle position three-bet to 1,950. Karr then four-bet to 4,775 from the cutoff, which inspired calls from the other two players.
The flop saw two checks, which put action on Karr. He bet 7,200, the original raiser called, and the three-bettor folded. When the appeared on the turn, Karr's opponent checked and Karr bet 12,000. His opponent then check-raised all in and Karr called off the 45,000 he had behind.
Karr:
Opponent:

A player in the small blind bet 1,125 on a board of , and Matt Marafioti raised to 3,850 in the cutoff. His opponent called, and the two saw a fall. The small blind got aggressive again with 4,325, and Marafioti cut out his chips and tanked for a couple of minutes before dropping in a hefty raise: 16,800. The small blind took an equally long time before letting his hand go.
At a nearby table, we saw Andy Frankenberger walking away. When we inquired as to his fate, the player formerly on his left said Frankenberger had flopped a set of fives, only to have an opponent turn a set of eights, at which point the two got it all in for Frankenberger's stack. Meanwhile, Calvin Anderson is down to 13,000 at the same table.

A player in middle position opened the action with a raise to 1,300 and Jesse Chinni made it 3,800 to go from the button. The player in the small blind flatted Chinni's raise and the action was back on the original raiser. He thought for a moment and made it 9,200 to go.
Chinni sat there, not breathing out of his mouth, his chest rising heavily. He glanced over at the player in the small blind and then grabbed all but a few of his chips and placed them into the middle of the table. The player in the small blind quickly folded. Chinni's opponent thought for about five seconds and said "I call" and placed the rest of his chips in front of him while turning over . He was in bad shape though as Chinni had woken up with .
The flop came causing the player in the small blind to moan. "I folded queens," he claimed. The turn was the and Chinni's aces had the hand locked up. The river was an irrelevant and Chinni knocked out his opponent and collected a hefty pot in the process, moving up to 96,300 in chips.
The player in the small blind continued to playfully whine about his bad luck. "I hate this game," he said. Chinni smiled and said "thank you."
"Don't thank me, thank him," the player in the small blind said, pointing to the now empty seat.
