Eskimo Left Out in the Cold?
Men Nguyen
First he found that his two pair holding
on a 
board was good, doubling him up to a heady 525.Next hand, he got it all in preflop with two callers, including the big blind. Both callers checked the
flop, but the big blind bet the turn, forcing the other player to fold. Men's 
was behind his opponent's 
, although he seems to have misread his opponent's hand and thought he was ahead with a pair of aces until someone pointed out that his opponent had trip threes. Anyway, all change on the

but folded to the final bet.The Italian Pirate is now up to 16,850 and in confident mood. Word has it he fell down the stairs, but there are a number are rumors going round as to the origin of his injury.
"Ooh 'Eck" Says Jelinek
, you almost expect to hit something... anything... surely?Well, Steve Jelinek did make something, but his two pair with
wasn't quite what he was after, and alas it simply wasn't enough as his saw his stack plummet right back down to 4,125 after enjoying an early chip lead.
