We just wandered past Matt Glantz's table to see him sitting with heaps of chips, about 195,000 of them. The last time we eyed up his stack, it was about half of that, so we gave him a shoulder tap to find out what was what.

"Matt, did you just win a huge pot? Or have you just been chipping up?"

"No. You guys have just been doing a bad job," he said with a smirk. "I mean, not really. I did just beat a guy in a pot for like 50K. But I'm just running hot right now, hitting a lot of hands. Let me put it this way. I just open-folded king-jack because all I've been getting is aces and kings."

Aces and kings are good from what we little understand of the game of poker, and they've served Glantz's stack well enough to put him into the chip lead with about half of the field left.
