If you want to play with Ray Cuny, it looks like you'll be playing for stacks.
The 91-year-old from Illinois defended his big blind against a 6,000-chip open from late position, then simply slid out 35,000 in grey chips after a

Keven Stammen is the defending champion of the Hollywood Poker Open Championship, and he entered the tournament this morning with a 25,000-chip stack. Flash forward just 2.5 hours, and Stammen sits on a strong stack worth 160,000. Stammen's off to do the same thing he did in 2015, when he also entered the tournament on Day 2 before winning the whole thing.
We caught up with Stammen to get some more details on his explosive start.
Stammen explained how he chipped up a bit before doubling up with ace-queen to the tens of Toby Lewis, and a little while later he ended up all in with ace-king to kings.
"He had him dead on the turn," one of the other players at the table laughed, and Stammen produced a big smile.
"Flopped an ace, turned an ace," Stammen said, as he's now sitting on 160,000 chips.
Stammen has $4.6 million in live tournament earnings, and last year he won $347,045 for winning this very event.

He was up against two kings, but it turns out he was right, cracking cowboys and collecting yet another soul to ad 100,000 more to the ever-growing pile.
