The rich are getting richer as Dan Colman, winner of the 2014 WSOP Big One for One Drop, might be in line to add another nice payout. He was a late minute entry yesterday at dinner after dropping another stack and is running up his final bullet.

Colman has very quietly built up to one of the biggest in the room, currently hovering around 1.1 million. Also joining the millionaire club was David Farber, second in chips after Day 1A, and 2010 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event winner Ty Reiman.

Level 18: 2,500/5,000/500 ante

Local player Anthony Dianaty (Tampa, FL) stopped by Media Row to share his story during the break. He started the day as one of the lower chip stacks with 23K. Since then though, he has been steadily building and now has around 240K and is still fighting in today’s Championship Day 2. One of the bigger hands he had during the day is when he was dealt pocket Aces and it held up against an opponent’s pockets Queens. Dianaty is a recreational player who does real estate full time, but he hopes for a big payday here in the next few days. Good luck the rest of the way Anthony!
