"Don't do that again," threatened the ever-chatty, but highly entertaining James. "I will race you."
"It's difficult to make a pair in this game," added Tran, echoing word for word a line that James had thrown at the table earlier in the day.
Until then, other notable names still on roughly their 3,000 starting stack include Bill Chen, Daniel Negreanu, Hoyt Corkins, Humberto Brenes, EPT champs Arnaud Mattern and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier representing for France, and Phil Ivey.
