Chris De Guzman from Orlando, Fla. is over the 200,000-chip mark and leads the way by margin toward the middle of Level 10.

De Guzman, who less than two weeks ago finished runner up in a Rock ‘n’ Roll Poker Open event, was out of position in a three-handed pot and checked a 9c5s3c flop. A player to his left bet and the cutoff moved all in for about 70,000. De Guzman had the all-in player covered and called. The other player in the hand folded.

“Do you have a set?” the cutoff asked.

De Guzman shook his head no and flipped over 9d5c for top two pair. He had outdrawn the JdJh overpair of his opponent. The board completed with the Ts and 5h and De Guzman’s fullhouse raked a monster pot while his opponent hit the rail.

De Guzman currently holds around 220,000 chips good for 183 big blinds. To put his monster stack in perspective, it would currently put him seventh in the overall Flight ABCD chip counts.
