Oh yes, young Jamie Brown is in contention for chip leader now with around 350,000 after just absorbing Daniel Murphy's entire stack into his wall of colour-coded towers. This was done in three easy stages: 1) Pick up Aces 2) Have Murphy happily commit stack (c.50k) pre with Queens 3) Don't get binked on. Cheerfully stacking with the envious eyes of the table on him, he says, "Yes, I admit it, every night I pray to get Aces," or some such. Been doing all right with or without them so far this tournament...
Busto too is Matthew Turk, shoving a short stack when it folded to him in late position with the perfectly reasonable Qh-Jh, but running smack into the pocket Jacks of his neighbour.
Man Chan too seems to have resolutely stayed on about 40k all day, and every time I pass his table he appears to be open shoving preflop, with no one looking him up. I almost believe that this is the only poker thing he has done all day, so often have I seen it. Finally he gets someone's interest - but it's the coolered Elliott Peterman with Queens which double through his Kings.
Also, Chaz Chattha on the button picks up A-K and is pretty cool with having to call big blind Aaron Barry's aip - he ended up having A-Q. Both players hit their kickers but as we all know, a pair of Kings beats a pair of Queens and that's all she wrote for Barry.
