Want Some Iced Coffee with that Sugar?

[user80015]

Chris Amaral called over our PokerNews field reporter.

"You see this? It's an Iced Coffee. You know how many sugars I've put in it?" Amaral asked.

Our field reported didn't respond.

"Tell him!" Amaral gestured to David Steicke as the Hong-Kong based Australian responded with, "15!"

"So tired, but need to keep at it!" added Amaral as he now sits with 65,000 and is placed in the top few of our leaderboard.

Young Drinking and It's Working

donpeters

Level 7

Jason Young has a little bit of a new look. He's wearing Ronnie "Ronasty" Bardah's hat that says "Nasty" across the front in graffiti-style letters. He's also drinking. He's got a beer in one hand and a shot in the other. He's also looking to order a couple more shots and may be joined in the fun by Brett Richey who's sitting right next to him. It must be working for Young though as he's moved from 12,000 to 28,500 in chips lately.

Hold'em

David Oppenheim raised from middle position and Michael Chow reraised from the cutoff seat. Oppenheim called and the flop came down {K-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} . Oppenheim check-raised Chow's bet only to have Chow come back with a reraise. Oppenheim called.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and both players checked to see the {2-Hearts} fall on the river. With the board now complete, Oppenheim fired a bet. Chow called.
