Nguyen Chipping Up

7:32pm -- No Appetite for Walsh

Pat Walsh has been the player most prone to releasing his hand in the face of a reraise today. He opened the pot to 300,000, then watched as Mike Sowers moved all in for about 1.26M behind him. Walsh gave the matter about a minute's worth of thought before mucking.

7:24pm -- Another Pot to Nguyen

We haven't seen much limping today, but Pat Walsh just tried to limp into a pot from the cutoff. Action folded to Nguyen in the big blind, who popped it to 400,000. Walsh called that raise, but folded to a bet of 500,000 on a flop of {5-Clubs} {4-Spades} {A-Clubs}.

Nguyen is the chip leader at this point.


7:18pm -- Nguyen Pressures Cimpan to Fold

A raised pot between Binh Nguyen and Cornel Andrew Cimpan made it to the turn. With the board showing {J-Hearts} {8-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}, Cimpan led out for 300,000. Nguyen quickly put in a raise to 900,000. Just as quickly, Cimpan folded.

Nguyen's supporters must be drunk. Their latest chant is, "B-I-N-H-O, B-I-N-H-O, B-I-N-H-O and Binh-o was his name-o."
