Poker players have the added burden that they need to put up that money 
for the next game.  Winning $2K makes $400 pots banal.  I can't imagine 
what winning $1M does.  Time for him to roll up stakes and make a run at 
Vegas.  I only caught a glimpse of it, but the BIG NL game there is 
huge.  At one table was Lederer, Johnny Chan, Ivey, Doyle and a few 
other pros.  What a brutal mix game.
