Richard Newton (West Palm Beach, FL) said “I was up to 240 a little while ago”.  He was still the chip leader as of our chat, sitting behind ~180k.

When I inquired how he amassed that stack, he replied with one word: “Skill”.

One row over, David Hass (Del Ray, FL) was sitting on 165k.  David is a Commercial Real Estate Developer, so this is a walk in the park for him.  “It can be stressful” he said, referring to his ‘day job’.
