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.

Frank Bianco has been seen making his way out of the tournament area with a corona in hand and we have all the action from his bust out hand.
The action started when David Steicke limped from under the gun. Two other players limped behind and both blinds came along for the ride, including Bianco who completed from the small blind.
Flop: 
Bianco and the big blind checked, whereby Steicke led for 5,500. The other two players got out of the way before it was back on Bianco who shoved all in for around 25,000. The big blind player quickly made the call before Steicke went into the tank. Eventually Steicke let it go and the two players turned their hands over.
Bianco's 
would be in trouble against the 
of his opponent and it would all be over when the board ran out blanks.

Joel Dodds has just made a huge double-up and while we missed the action, a player at the table was happy to relay the information to us.
Apparently a player opened to 5,500 from under the gun before receiving one caller. This was when the action was on Dodds and he shoved for around 55,000. The play was back on the original opener and he made the call while the other player got out of the way.
Dodds turned over 
, while his opponent held 
.
The board ran out with an on the flop and Dodds took down the big hand to now sit with a heallthy stack.

One of the PokerStars Team Pros has just hit the rail, this time it was Russia's Alex Kravchenko who couldn't survive the day.
Kravchenko was extremely short stacked in a previous hand after running into the straight of an opponent and shoved a few hands later holding 
and got the call from the big blind player who held 
. Kravchenko was looking good to take a much needed double-up but the 
flop hit the felt and Kravchenko was sent to the rail.

Team PokerStars Pro Nacho Barbero is up to about 375,000 in chips and crushing, thanks in part to some recent pots. Here's two that we gathered.
On the first hand, Barbero told us that he saw a flop four ways with 
. It came down 
with two diamonds and two players had put 50,000 chips in in front of him, with the first of those being all in. Barbero raised all in for 120,000 of his own and the second player, the caller, called the extra 70,000. The first player had a king-high flush draw while the second had 
. Barbero's hand held and he boomed up the ladder.
Shortly after that, Barbero won some more chips from the player to his right. That player raised to 4,500 from the hijack seat, Barbero called from the cutoff and the big blind also called. The flop came down 
and action was checked by the big blind. The hijack seat bet 6,000 and Barbero called. The big bind folded.
The turn was the to pair the board and both players checked. The river was the 
and the hijack seat checked. Barbero bet 15,500 and his opponent called. Barbero tabled the 
for a straight and won the pot.

They come and they go. Chips, that is. We just reported how Team PokerStars Pro Nacho Barbero was up to about 375,000, but he just lost a good chunk of those chips and is all the way back to 235,000.
Oops.
