Jones Soaring, Winner Weir Also There

Aaron Jones was sitting at the table with Kevin Saul and right after winning a small pot against him this table broke. It took Jones almost a minute to rack up his massive stack and we counted it at just over 200,000. Jones moved a couple of tables over and sat down next to Daniel Alaei.

Jones is out of position against Alaei and one seat further down we found Kyle "First-Eagle" Weir. Weir won the biggest Sunday Million ever on PokerStars back in December of last year. The Toronto resident won a staggering $1.1 million beating more than 62,000 players in the 10th Anniversary Sunday Million. Today he's also doing good and with just 80 minutes of play left he has well over twice the average stack.

Matt Stout is also at this table and he seems to be slowly chipping up all day.
