It might be the most asked question in poker. Often it's meant literally when inquiring about chip stacks or bet amounts. But the question often applies in other ways, too, as explained on the PokerStars Blog.
We arrived at the table in time to find Davidi Kitai all in and at risk before the flop against Andrew Lichtenberger. Kitai held 
and was leading against Lichtenberger's 
. After five community cards, however, Kitai made his way to the rail, as the 
run out paired Lichtenberger's ace. Lichtenberger dragged in the pot and now has about 40,000 in chips.

"Hey buddy! I'm back! Where do I go?"
The voice of the aforementioned quote was one everyone in the tournament area recognized as it belonged to none other than Daniel Negreanu. Negreanu, who just hours earlier gave a dramatic exit from the tournament where he essentially gave away his chips, has decided to re-enter and give this tournament another go. Upon entering the tournament room, Negreanu strode over to the very tournament director who he argued with earlier, gave him a big hug, and collected his 50,000 in starting chips.
