Hwang Building Upwards

Djinn

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 3,000 ante

Andy Hwang doesn't stack in twenties. His towers of yellow 1,000 chips are lined up like a wall in front of him, covering everyone else at his table. Just now Jeffrey Lennon raised to 5,400 and Hwang, in position, made it 19,000 to go. Lennon had around 70,000 behind at this point; he made the call. No one took cards. Lennon now checked to Hwang who bet 34,000. Lennon gave up the pot.

Double for Harman

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 3,000 ante

Jerry Wong raised to 5,500 from early position and his neighbor Jen Harman peeled a hand good enough for a 21,000-shove. It returned to Wong who quickly called and drew one. Harman patted.

Wong:
Harman:

Wong looked at his new card and it wasn't any of those he'd like to see so he turned his hand face down and cut out the required chips to double Harman's stack.

Harman Misses vs. Tabb

Djinn

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 3,000 ante

Jennifer Harman opened to 5,000, raised by Steven Tabb in position. She took a good while to make the call, self-counting down her stack (it was around 45,000) and thinking.
