Jim Pechac has been the story of the day so far today. He began play with just 2,000 chips, and has been on a tear, working his way up over the 200,000 mark at one point. Pechac is a 45-year-old investor from Phoenix, AZ. He has over a half millon dollars in career winnings, including a 2nd place finish in the 2003 S.H.O.E. event at the WSOP.
