Mark Demirdjian has continued his late crushing of Day 2a here, managing to accumulate more chips than any player in in his field or over in 2b. We were recently passing by his table as he got up out of his chair to seemingly leave the table for a moment. "Got so many chips your going to have a break?" one of the players at the table joked.
"You haven't hit a set for ten minutes, so your going take some time off?" some others at the table joined in.
We can't find any past results for Demirdjian, but this certainly is a good start to creating a very illustrious poker resume.
