Trivedi Chip Savant

Coming from nowhere - in fact Savan Trivedi may have been the last person to get in to the tournament today - there's a new chip leader in town, and he's risen to this preeminent state, with a massive 42,000, in just one level. I overheard a tablemate professing that, "It's impossible to win!" The word 'luckbox' may also have been overheard... but races, flips and draws have to be won to get through a tournament, and Savan Trivedi has been on a heater.

Just now he knocked out one of his tired-looking tablemates, checking a threeway flop of {9-Hearts}

before betting out 1,500 on the {8-Spades}

turn. One caller then called off the rest of his stack - around 3,000, on the {A-Diamonds}

river only to see the {Q-Diamonds}

in Trivedi's hand for the flopped trips. Another chunk added to his wall of yellow 1,000 chips. Comfortably stacked for a trip in at least Business Class into Day Two - will he hang on to them?
