Record nigiri

From the Department of Silly Questions.
What is the record number of stones picked up for nigiri (or tsukami) in a pro game? And who was the record breaker?
I actually can't be absolutely certain of the answer. The one I know was certainly regarded as the record at the time, but it may have been beaten since. However, knowing the person concerned and the circumstances, not to mention the fact that no-one seems to have claimed the record since, I think you'd agree that it's likely the record still stands.
Getting the precise number is obviously not really on, but the scale of it is not, especially if you can deduce the player concerned.
No prizes, apart from a glow of satisfaction.
