Rios Wields the Button
Level 8
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
One of the dominating stacks of the Bronze area in the Brasilia Room belongs to Michael Rios aka Diamond Mike. Back in Level 3 he’d amassed over 120,000 chips, and he’s now hovering around 200,000. He demonstrated one way to build a stack, picking up four and a half big blinds’ worth of chips at the close of the last level (600/1,200). After two players limped in (one mid-position, one on the cut-off), he promptly made it 4,600 from the button. There was little delay in the other players’ cards hitting the muck.
