Nam Le Returns

[user111541]

Nam Le returns to this tournament after missing most of the day building his stack in the $1,500 NLHE tournament across the hall. At that event 54 players remain and he's already guaranteed over $9,000.

He rushes over to his table to see his stack has dropped to 57,000 - unfortunately the blinds had just passed him.

With blinds of 3,000 - 6,000 he's going to need to double up in a hurry.
