Mac Chipping Up
While Winson Yau is still very much the chip leader with a stack of 172,000 he has just passed a few chips the way of Hong Kong's Anthony Mac, though he got away fairly cheaply as he folded pre-flop. However, there was a player involved in that hand who paid a whole lot more, his whole stack in fact, and left so quickly after the hand that we did not even get a chance to find out his name.
It was Mac who was the pre-flop raiser, making it 2,200 to go from middle position, with Yau flat calling from the button before the player in question shipped in the lot from the small blind. Mac mulled it over and called while Yau made a speedy fold and the cards were revealed.
Anthony Mac: 
Opponent: 
Mac held both the best hand and had the covering stack, and looked happy enough with the 
run out, his top pair enough to send his opponent out the door and shoot his stack up to 95,000.
