Despite the poker face in the picture, Buffalo, NY's Jim Burkett will head into the first break of the day with a stack and a smile.

"I've been getting hit by the deck," he said, laughing. "I've been getting real lucky. I'm sure it won't last."

His biggest hand of the day came when he made trips and got one opponent to put half his stack in the middle before folding. Burkett's now up to 62,000 and counting.
