Conventional wisdom says you never win a four-day poker tournament on Day 1. (Incidentally, conventional wisdom also says you never fold on the first leg of a two-legged game.) But certainly it helps to have a big stack. Mario Lopez has among the biggest stacks in the room with 91,000 in chips. He recently extracted 5,300 of river value against one opponent by betting {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} on an ace-high board. His opponent called but mucked when he saw Lopez's Big Slick.
