Mark Vos is amassing an extremely big stack size-wise, although it is lacking some degree of quality, as it made up almost entirely of the lowest denomination chips. Vos has just made a nice bet to steal a pot from Michael Greco.
Vos raised to 1,600 and Greco called.

Moneymaker looks supremely comfortable during the countdown, as his opponent takes the full minute to fold and is left to nurse a 7,000 small stack.
He made it 2,000 from first position and was called by seat 3, as well as by Andreas Hoivold, who was in the big blind.

Barny Boatman got involved in a pot with a PokerStars qualifier.
He called a bet on a flop, and then bet out 4,000 into an 8,000 pot when the came on the turn. He was called.
The river was the and both players checked.
Barny, who was first to show his cards, did so reluctantly with for the nut straight, and then said, "Oh f***!" -- not realizing the strength of his hand.
