Not Much Movement

12:21am -- Nguyen Takes a Chunk Out of Cimpan

With Cornel Andrew Cimpan on the button, it was (of course) a limped pot. On a flop of {2-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {9-Spades}, Binh Nguyen bet 200,000 and was called by Cimpan. As is typical when Nguyen encounters resistance, he checked the {10-Spades} turn. Cimpan bet 450,000 and must have been surprised to see Nguyen check-raise to 1.15 million. He folded after 30 seconds, bringing loud cheers and applause from Nguyen's supporters.


12:14am -- Cimpan Still Grinding

Binh Nguyen raised to 375,000 and Andrew Cimpan called. On a flop of {8-Clubs} {2-Spades} {j-Clubs}, Cimpan check-called a bet of 400,000 from Nguyen. Both players checked when the board paired, {J-Spades}, on the turn. Andrew fired out one million on the {3-Diamonds} river, folding Nguyen.


12:10am -- Play Resumes

Cards are back in the air. The blinds are still 75,000 and 150,000.


11:55pm -- Break Time

It's time to change the tapes again.
