Big Stacks

Govert Metaal just told us that he has been quite lucky today. He cracked aces with his pocket tens, and hit a two outer on the river with jacks versus kings early on.

Kevin MacPhee was also pretty lucky, but his luck came in the form of strong starting hands. He got kings back to back, and got kings again a bit later and flopped top set versus middle set on with two diamonds. Another opponent in the hand folded which would have gotten there. MacPhee isn't complaining, that's for sure.

Matt Stout, across from MacPhee, has a good stack in front of him as well. "I had to work for my stack bro" he laughed. "I had to shove the river as a bluff against an old guy." That hard work paid off for Stout who plays about 27,000.
