Blanco Approches Two-Mill Ball

Lucas Blanco was already maneuvering one of the largest stacks in the tournament room, and he just added another huge portion of chips to his stack.

Under the gun, Blanco raised to 26,000. The action folded to Leonardo Patacconi who declared "all in" from the big blind. Blanco began scanning his opponent's chip stack, looking at Blanco's 40-chip tall piles of 1,000-chips. The dealer started helping Blanco with the count, but he opted to call before an exact count was determined.

A standard race went Blanco's way after the hit the felt, delivering nothing for Patacconi. Blanco merged his former right-hand opponent's chips with his stack, then politely asked "Excuse me, can I get a chip race, please?"
