Marc Souza lost almost his entire stack when he took AQ against Andrew Chitias AK on a board of TA6T8.
That left Marc with a single $1,000 chip, and in the big blind. He tripled up when his J4 beat Scott Bullers AT. All-in in the small blind with his $3,000, he found TT and doubled up again. The next hand he went all-in with AJ against Mike Schneiders KQ. A board of AQT95 meant that...
As I reported just a few minutes ago, Devon Miller is on a heater. He now has over $500,000 and is the chipleader!
