There are a few big stacks around the room, however, none bigger than that of John Conroy's stack of 70,000.
In a recent hand, he led out on the river for 5,550 on a three-diamond jack-high board holding for the nut flush and got a call from Keith McIerny, who quickly mucked his hand when he saw Conroy's.
Conroy speculated that McIerny was holding ace-jack for top pair. McIerny shook his head no and while laughing said, "You don't want to know what I had."
