After falling to just two big blinds, but splitting several pots to pick up some chips, Maxx Coleman took some lighthearted ribbing from Steven Liu.
"One hundred more chops, and you'll be the chip leader," Liu said.
Just after that, Coleman moved from chopping pots to winning pots.
He took down one four-way pot with a bet on the flop that no one called.
On the next hand, there were again four limpers.
Coleman, playing from the cutoff, bet 225,000 on the flop. Sergio Benso was the only caller.
When the turn hit, Coleman potted it for 885,000. Benso studied the board for some time before electing to fold.
That haul meant Coleman was no longer the shortest stack at the table.
