Mic'd Up

The players' microphones are acting up on set. Apparently, this match has gone on a little longer than the broadcast crew expected, and both players need a battery change in the near future.

That last chip count may have even been a bit generous for Stokes. It's tough to get close enough to the table to count chips right now, but it looks like Stokes is much closer to 500,000. That gives Chan a big lead with around 1,460,000.

Stokes Moves In

Johnny Chan limped into the pot from the button, and Jamin Stokes tapped the felt.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}

. Stokes led out with 25,000 chips, and Johnny Chan didn't take long to raise to 75,000. Stokes would consider his options very carefully though. After a minute or so, he stacked his remaining chips into one tower and slid all 545,000 of them into the middle.

Chan would ask for a count and go into the tank, staring his opponent up and down. Finally, he let his hand go, sending a few extra chips over to Stokes.

The man who is not Johnny Chan is slowing trying to climb his way back into this match.

Stokes - 682,000
