There Goes the Neighborhood

Bit of a commotion over here at Table #1 in the Green section when Brian Schaedlich sat down in the empty seat, plopping down 300,000-plus chips in front of him.

His tablemates were already murmuring when staff members arrived, along with the ESPN crew. "What's this?" thought those at the table. That's when they saw staff placing extra racks of chips on the table -- Schaedlich has so many he can't carry them all himself.

About 760,000, to be precise. His tablemates have a little under a half an hour left today to deal with their menacing new neighbor.
