Erin McNaught
Once again we find ourselves ready to roll but at the mercy of the TV production crew and Erin McNaught who is currently interviewing each of the five remaining players for their thoughts on the run home. At least we have an excuse to use another photo...

As the first player to act on the first hand after dinner, short-stacked Nam Le open-shoved all in for 57,000. Action folded around to Andrew Scott in the big blind.
"Please be aces," said Scott, rubbing his hand and preparing to peek at his cards. He squeezed them, then sat upright in his chair, considering his action.
"Aces?" asked Chuck Chua.
"Obviously not," replied Scott. He contemplated his decision for over a minute, asking for the blinds to be pulled into the pot so he could clearly see how much he had to call. Finally, he folded.

Nam Le
Andrew Scott raised to 18,000 from the button and Nam Le instantly moved all in from the small blind for 63,000 in total. Quinn Do folded his big blind and Scott went into the tank once more.
"Now you've put me to a tough decision!" sighed Scott.
After a few minutes of thought, he announced a call.
Scott:
Le:
The board ran out and Le's pair holds up to find a much needed double up to about 130,000 to leave Scott on the short stack with only about 40,000 chips.

Nam Le, flush with his new-found chips courtesy of Andrew Scott, raised from the button to 16,000. David Steicke made the call out of the big blind, then checked the flop of . Le bet 20,000; Steicke quickly check-raised all in and Le snap-called.
Steicke:
Le:
It was an absolutely horrible spot for Steicke. He was thoroughly dominated by Le's top two pair, needing running sixes to pull out a miracle win. He didn't get them. The turn was the and the river was the to make a full house for Le.
Just like that, Nam Le, who came back from dinner with fewer than ten big blinds in his stack, finds himself with a very healthy chip stack of 280,000.
