Des Moines, Iowa's own Mike Lang, who had two runner-up finishes on the MSPT in 2014, including one here in Tama, has rolled his way into a spot near the top of the counts as just the second player past the 100,000-chip mark.
All this thanks to a number of straights and boats made throughout the day, including turning the into one full house.
Des Moines, Iowa's own Hamid Feiz got all his chips in the middle holding against one opponent's on an flop.
Drawing extremely thin with one pair versus a set, the turn card was a good one for Feiz, giving him two pair and a little hope. That hope turned to joy when the river came down, making him a runner-runner full house.
As Feiz doubled-up to a spot near the top of the counts, one opponent asked how he did it.
