Chaoui Mehdi

Chaoui Mehdi of Morocco just jumped in the tournament, giving friends high fives and hugs before finally taking his seat.

Mehdi made a scan of chips from the other players and noticed the huge chip stack of Nevan Chang.

Mehdi said, "Nevan, why do you have so many chips? Did you flop a set and crack aces?"

The table answered, "That's exactly what happened!"

Chang added, "That's where he was sitting."

Mehdi retorted, "I won't call 250,000 with aces." with reference to the starting stack.
