The Marcel Sabag Story
If you see Marcel Sabag right now, you'd never know how close he came to busting out of this tournament. The distinguished-looking gentleman has a massive pile of chips in front of him and he's had an even bigger smile on his face for the past few hours.
But a little after 10 a.m. this morning, Sabag was on the ropes. In the third hand of the tournament, his flush lost to Tom Thomas's full house. After the hand, Sabag was down to 200 in chips. But his stack never got any lower than that, and since then, though, he's gone on quite the run. In one all-in confrontation, he held 
against 
and flopped two jacks. Thanks to a combination of skillful play and timely luck, Sabag now sits with 27,000 in front of him, and he shows no sign of slowing down any time soon.
