Tang Battles Back To Back Queens

In consecutive hands, Danny Tang has gone to war against pocket queens, with mixed results.

In the first hand, Tang held {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} but lost the race when he couldn't spike a pair on a board of {6-Spades}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{J-Clubs}.

The next hand, Tang tried his luck again with {A-Hearts}{10-Spades} and once again found himself up against queens, but this time, the board of {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} gave him the best pair to eliminate an opponent and recover his lost chips to now sit at 26,000.

Steve Hamilton is our runaway chip leader after a catching a fortunate break with his {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} against his opponent's {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}.

Hamilton had shoved on the button and his opponent snap-called from the big blind. The board fell {6-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, and Hamilton had spiked an ace from space to now hold over 80,000 chips!
