A Chip Leader Emerges

Gary Tang
Gary Tang
Gary Tang is currently sitting on the biggest stack in the room with right around 120,000.

Tang told us he amassed the stack after raising with {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs} from the cutoff. He was called by both blinds and led out for 3,300 on a flop of {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}{7-Clubs} when the action checked to him. The small blind folded and the big blind called.

The big blind check-raised all in when the {K-Diamonds} hit the turn and Tang said he took about 30 seconds before making the call. When the {4-Diamonds} hit the river, Tang took the pot and the chip lead.
