Big Jockey

Jockey's are generally known for being quite small in height and weight and Shane Dye is no exception, however when it comes to chip stack size here at the 2011 APPT Macau Main Event.

A recent hand saw Dye take down a huge pot when he held {a-}{q-} and two queens hit the felt. Dye is now sitting behind one of the largest stacks in the room.

David the Goliath

David Steicke is sitting in furthermost corner of the tournament area and a quick glance toward his direction will show that he is currently sitting behind one of the biggest stacks in the room. We caught a recent hand which added to his mammoth stack.

Steicke was in the big blind when a player from under the gun opened the pot. The rest of the players at the table got out of the way before Steicke made the call from the big blind.

Flop: {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

Steicke opted to check on the flop before the original raiser made it 5,500 to go. Steicke made the call and both players check on the {9-Spades} turn.

The river fell with a {9-Diamonds} and this time Steicke would lead for 10,000. His opponent thought for only a couple of moments before making the call.

"Full house," said Steicke as he tabled his {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} and took down another nice pot.
