Henry Wang is one of the happiest guys in any of the tournaments we've seen him at. He just added some happiness to his mood after winning a nice little preflop all in that could've cost him most of his chips.

We were informed that there were a couple of big stacks over at Table 24, which is tucked away in the corner across the walkway. We headed over and they weren't kidding. Aside from playing host to well-known pros Sam Trickett, Jesse Sylvia, Ang Pangleng and Lee Markholt, Table 24 is also home to Scott Wilson and Man Hei Lam, who're sitting with 415,000 and 360,000 respectively.
"This table has all the chips," Sylvia, who was sitting with a more modest 75,000, said as he saw us scribbling down counts.
James Obst and Nate Silver are doing some serious business while Celina Lin is still doing very good as well. First we saw Silver lose some chips to Lin, which we caught from the turn. The board read and Silver bet 4,500, Lin called. On the river the appeared and Silver threw out 8,000 more. Lin called and showed which was good against Silver's .
A little while later we caught Silver raising from the button to 4,000 and Obst defended his big blind. The flop showed and Obst check-called 5,000. On the turn the hit and Obst check-folded to a 10,500-chip bet.
