Ginnies, Jews Among Early Chip Leaders

Five hours into Day 1a play at the 2007 WSOP, the chip leader board is filled with people who like meatballs and matzah balls.

Among the big stacks is legendary online player Brock "tsoprano" Parker at over 90k. Other big stacks include Abe Mosseri (65k), Irv Gotti who for the purpose of this post may be Italian or Jewish (64k), Salomon Cohen (64k), Mike Epstein (43.5k), and Barry Greenstein (41.5k). Christopher Columbus, Moses, Abraham, Enrico Fermi, and a slice of pepperoni pizza are among other notable stacks.
