No Sign of Nam
We suspect that Nam Le must be doing pretty well over at the $1,500 No Limit Holdem event as he has been rarely sighted today in this neck of the woods.
His stack is now blinded down to 72,000, which doesn't put him in desperation mode here just yet, but it's starting to get close to the point where he's going to have to make a decision. With a $25,817 bubble over here, he's going to have to go very deep in the other event to match that kind of money.
We'll keep an eye on his progress! -
