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 and two queens hit the felt. Dye is now sitting behind one of the largest stacks in the room.
From the cutoff seat, Nathaniel Seet raised to 3,300. Chieh Su Shih called from the small blind and then Paul Foltyn reraised to 9,100 from the big blind and action went back to Seet. He reraised and made it 17,300 to go. Shih folded and then Foltyn moved all in for 58,700. Seet took a few moments and then made the call.

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:
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 turn.
The river fell with a 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 and took down another nice pot.
