Mark Vos Up to His Old Tricks

Not too many players can say that they've had a tournament rule named after them, but Mark Vos has. The WSOP's tournament officials have implemented the "Mark Vos Rule" over the last two days which, in essence, states that players are not permitted to stack their chips in an unstable manner, as a whole lot of confusion could ensue should the stacks be knocked over. Yesterday, we reported that during one of the breaks, tournament officials were breaking down players' stacks that were deemed too unstable as to avoid this scenario.

The ginger-haired Aussie, known for stacking his chips in sky-high towers and often creating elaborate edifices from them, has gone back to his old tricks once again, his one million-plus in chips now stacked so high that he can barely see over them. The floor is keeping a close eye on his table as we speak, as his stack continues to grow in height.
