Hang Tough
![[user46392]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Chips are flying around faster than the one terrified moth that always manages to find its late-night way into the Amazon Room, and the beneficiary of a big chunk of those is Mr Tommy Hang -- he's up to 50,000.

Ice Vs. Needle
Teddy "Iceman" Monroe raised from the small blind and Marc "Needle King" Naalden called out of the big. Iceman bet every street of the
board and Naalden flatted every street until the river, when he raised. Monroe passed and dropped down to 12,600; Naalden meanwhile moved on up to 14,000.
New Chip Leader
Marcel Luske is also not far behind -- he's up to 30,000.
Hellmuth Up There
A raising war on the
flop led Hellmuth and his opponent to see a 
turn. Hellmuth bet out and then called a raise, and then bet out on the 
river. His opponent called but soon mucked -- Hellmuth turned over 
for a turned set.
Like Flies
Transit Out of the Amazon Room
He raised from the cutoff and then called a reraise from the gent on the button. Tran check-called on the flop and then moved all in on the turn; his opponent called and out he went.
