Aaron Katz, who at times plays in the legendary “Big Game,” is the only player going into the final table of the $10,000 limit world championship Event #30 with over a million in chips. But that doesn’t mean he will have a walk in the park. The final table is packed with talent and should provide its share of fireworks. Start of Day 2 chip leader J.C.
