Nam Le
The often-inscrutable Nam Le is playing on Table 8 this afternoon, three seats to the left of Celina Lin. He opened a pot from under the gun for 2,300 and was called only by the small blind. That player led out for 2,000 on a flop of . Le studied his opponent, his own face remaining impassive, and then called.
The turn brought another 2,000-chip bet from the small blind. Again Le studied and called. On the river , the small blind checked. Le bet 10,000 and drew a snap-muck from his opponent, who showed as he mucked in disgust. We weren't sure, but we thought we might have seen Le crack the slightest of smiles as he dragged the pot.
