Men at Work

Shamus

With eliminations happening so frequently, tables are breaking quickly as well. Men "the Master" Nguyen recently found himself shuffled from one table to the next three or four times in quick succession. Finally he was moved to Table #8 which won't be breaking soon, so it looks like Nguyen will be able to sit tight for awhile.

Of course, his chip stack continues to move up and down. Latest check has him at around 7,800.
