Another One Down to Four

Table 411 is the latest table to lose a player and be down to four-handed play. It was Tam Hang who busted at this table first and it is Christopher Hartman who holds the chip lead, with Blake Cahail not far behind.

Four on Four-Ten

Just a couple of tables have five players still in, with Table 410 now down to four-handed play. When we arrived at the table, there was a board showing {8-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Juijen Chang was all-in against Mike Thorpe. Chang's {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds} wasn't strong enough for thorpe's {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and it was to the rail for Chang. This table is pretty even in chips at the moment, with no clear leader.
