Curtis Meeks

Curtis Meeks is on a bit of a roll as of late and eliminated Jason Koon from the event.

A few moments later Meeks was stacking more chips after his K5 cracked the AA of his opponent when he rivered two pair on a board of 4K795. Meeks' stack is well over 1,000,000 chips now and he seems to be the only player above that mark.

"I'm sending 'em all home today," shouted Meeks as he stacked his chips.
