Hand #30 - Dinh Le

[user38449]

Joe Hachem has the button in seat 5. Sangkyoun Kim makes it 40,000 to go from under the gun and both blinds, Dinh Le and Guillaume Patry, call.

Flop: {6-Diamonds}

Le is first to act and bets 50,000; Patry is the lone caller.

Turn: {10-Clubs}

On the turn, Dinh checks to Patry who leads out with a 120,000 bet. Le then announces a raise and shoves a small stack of chips into the pot, saying "I want to raise this much." The amount he pushes across the betting line is less than the minimum allowed, so the dealer makes him toss in the additional chips to make the raise legitimate -- 240,000. Patry makes the call.

River: {5-Clubs}

Dinh fires one last 120,000 bullet on the river and Patry lays it down. With the win, Le moves past the one million mark in chips -- the first to do so all tournament.
