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.

Strictly speaking, the one chip in Melissa Smith’s possession was a newly-introduced white 50,000 chip, and she tossed it in under the gun announcing her raise as 6,000. Her neighbour (utg+1) promptly raised to 16,000 and was called. The heads up flop came down . Smith checked and her neighbour bet 15,000.

The turn and the river bricked and suddenly the neighbours’ stacks were reversed.
