Emerging Big Stacks and Surviving Short Stacks

Welcome JJ Wang as the newest member of the "Might Be Chip Leader" Club. The young grinder from East Brunswick, NJ has been bossing his table for the last few levels.

JJ took a 4-way flop and was faced with a shove from a short stacked player who was first to act, after 3 callers, JJ upped the bet and was only called by one of the other players who then folded after JJ bombed the turn. JJ showed his set and took down a substantial pot to move above the 240K mark.

While JJ was increasing his already deep stack, we've seen some short stacks magically escape elimination by way of the river. A player (who would like to remain anonymous) made a call for his tournament life on a double paired/flush draw board and hit his flush to beat his opponents King high. 

More updates about chip ups and eliminations coming soon.
