Jamasi Leads into the Break

Djinn

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

While Farhad Jamasi is quietly rising in chips, over on Jean Fontaine's table there are bluffs and banter aplenty. His tablemate took a picture of a board featuring a pair of fives and overcards, and Fontaine's winning hand - a pair of threes. Apparently a huge river bluff had pushed his opponent off the 900,000 pot.

"You're a senior!" his amused and impressed tablemate said, "How can you walk around with balls that big?"

Minh Nguyen: Day 3 Comeback King

Djinn

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Returning this morning with 190,000 chips, Minh Nguyen lost a big pot early on to drop to just three big blinds. With an eye to the approaching money jump, Nguyen folded his big and small blinds, leaving him with just 4,000 chips.

Satisfied to have made an extra $500 when the pay jump was activated by the latest elimination, Nguyen got back into the action. Since that moment, what he's done to his stack is pretty incredible. Nguyen has doubled time and time again, winning consistently until he hit the last break with 800,000 chips.
