Andrew Robl, Doug Polk, Alan Keating, Sam 'Senor Tilt' Kiki, Santhosh Suvarna, Cary Katz, Jennifer Tilly, and Justin Gavri all took their seats with six-figure stacks in play – although it wouldn't take long for additional chips to materialize and form seven-figure stacks. With so much cash on the table and a lineup chock full of players ready to battle, it's no surprise that the game provided PokerOrg's Hand of the Week.
