Event 1: Million Dollar Man

Yat "10-3" Cheng

Yat Cheng (Atlanta, GA) just took down a 980,000 pot with 10-3 off-suit. You heard me! He raised 45,000 with it and the fun ensued.

Big blind called with Q-9 and was feeling very good with a flop of 3-Q-10. BB shoves and Yat calls. 10-3 two pair holds giving Cheng a grand total of 1.1 million chips making him among the chipleaders.

Gianni Arcuri with 850,000 (Staten Island, NY) is sitting to Yat's left. "He's been playing like that all day. Very aggressive" said Arcuri. "He could have anything. The 10-3 didn't surprise me."

Sidenote: Gianni says hi to his wife Caroline.
