We have identified the player behind the big stack of chips as Young Ji. Ji joined the event today following a 16th-place finish in Event #22: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha. It appears that Ji is starting where he left off and that is accumulating all the chips.

We came up just as Steven Flacco was contemplating calling a 7,775 all in bet from his opponent with the 
flop already on the board. Flacco ended up making the call with 
and was ahead of his opponent's 
. The 
turn and 
river improved Flacco's hand and raked the pot, eliminating a player in the process.
As this hand was finishing out, we overheard another dealer letting the players at his table know there was no senior discount on the antes. He informed them that a little memory loss is OK and that is why he is there.

We just saw Terry Scott take down a massive pot, after a player holding about 20,000 chips got them all into the middle holding 
. Scott's put him in every poker player's favorite spot, holding pocket rockets against an underpair for all the chips, and when the final board ran out 
, his aces remained in front.
With the win, Scott moved above the 45,000 chip mark, undoubtedly becoming one of the largest stacks in the room by virtue of holding the largest hand in Hold'em.

Marcel Sabag, who has the big stack at his table, raised to 900 preflop from the button, and both blinds called. On the 
flop, the small blind checked and the big blind moved all in for 3,900. Sabag quickly called, and the big blind folded. The all-in bettor turned up 
, and Sabag slowly revealed 
as he realized he had caught his opponent on a stone-cold bluff. The turn was a brick, and the river was a 
, not enough for Sabag's opponent to surpass his pair of aces.
Action folded to Susie Isaacs in the small blind who completed the big blind and the big blind checked. Isaacs put a tall stack of blues in the middle on the 
and the big blind folded. Isaacs was gracious and showed her opponent one card who said laughing "Oh, I knew you had it. No doubt."

We heard a player shout out in joy after winning a pot, and after a quick investigation we discovered why.
Carmin Argiero had hit the river with his , when the final board rolled out 
. His opponent held , and with top pair on the flop he was in the lead over Argiero's ace-high, until the river delivered a dagger.
Argiero, like most poker players who catch lucky on the last card, was quick to point out that he deserved the win, saying "hey, that's the best hand I've had all day."
