Craig just gave out a couple of copies of the recently-released poker strategy book he edited, called: "The Full Tilt Poker Strategy Guide: Tournament Edition."

At table 61, Adam Geyer won a very large pot against David Duran, which left Duran with only 25,000 chips. The hand hoisted Geyer into the chip lead with 290,000 chips.
