Andrew Black found a way to donk away a huge stack last year, while Joe Hachem nursed his short stack, picked his spots, and went on to win the bracelet.

In other words, a big stack is nice, but it's anything but a guarantee.

don't forget that Black had a nice suckout on Tim Phan with AQ on an A high flop to go runner runner full house after Tim flopped a set of 10s...

don't forget the money went in preflop.

also, don't forget that hachem won with Q7 against 99, won another coinflip and had AQ hold over K9.

black, meanwhile, lost a coinflip and lost with 9T to A6 on a 965 flop.

there's still lots of time for gold to stop winning all the chips.
