Two Players Top the 75k Mark

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

We recently saw a couple players with unusually large stacks, and after a bit of the old intrepid reporting, we now know that Walter Moorhead of Redmond, CA, and Brandon Uhl of "Southern Cali" have both topped the 75,000 chip plateau.

According to Uhl, who has worked as a commentator for Bicycle Casino's Live at the Bike event and is known in the poker world as "Two Hats," his huge stack came as a result of a misplay.

After trying to raise with {K-}{K-}, Uhl miscounted his chips and could only make the call. This moment of confusion apparently signaled weakness to an opponent with {9-}{9-}, and after his opponent shipped with the inferior pocket pair, Uhl made the move into the chip counts' upper echelon.
