We can confirm Pat Tighe is the current chip leader, despite the fact he won't confirm how many chips he has exactly.

Tighe seems to be under the grossly misguided impression that breaking down his chip stack so it's easier to count will result in a dark cloud of bad luck descending upon him. Nothing could be further from the truth.

However, he says it's happened before, taking no responsibility for the fact he likely played way too many hands to hold on to the stack in that particular scenario.

"I play my hands and I play in position," he said. "Position is everything."

Most would agree with him there, it's just this chip stack superstition that's suspect. But any way you count it, Tighe's on top right now and still stacking.
