Rich Giambra

Rich Giambra built a big stack on Day 1a Monday, but busted around 17th with 13 players going through to Day 2.

Today he's back at it again and just got it all in preflop with {q-Clubs}{q-Clubs} against two opponents.

One held {a-}{k-} and the other {7-}{7-}, but Giambra's queens held, even making him a set on the river of the {4-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades}{q-Diamonds} run out.

As a result, he tripled up into the early chip lead.
