An Orbit with Matt Chang

Tournament poker can be a mind-numbing grind and players struggle to keep interest in the game. We like to offer an inside look on how boring playing a tournament can be. We followed Matt "Watdahell" Chang for an orbit.

Hand 1 - From the cutoff Chang folded preflop after Amanda Musumeci opened for 2,200. He ordered a triple Crown and Coke from the cocktail server.

Hand 2 - Chang tossed in his ante and started to type a text message. He folded to a 2,500 open.

Hand 3 - Chang folded preflop to another 2,500 opening raise. He kept typing and his text message was starting to look like a short novel.

Hand 4 - He chats with his neighbor on his left and folded preflop.

Hand 5 - He tossed his cards into the muck again preflop. He left the table to find an outlet to charge his battery.

Hand 6 - From under the gun he folded preflop. Circuit regular Kenny Milam walked by and said, "Watdahell?"

Hand 7 - The dealers switch out and the cocktail server brought him his drink. He took a small taste, nodded in approval and was all smiles. A middle position player moved all in and Chang asked for a count. The magic number was 16,200 and he checked his cards a second time.

"Watdahell..." he muttered and then tossed his cards back to the dealer after a short tank.

Hand 8 - Chang folded preflop from the small blind to a 3,000 opening raise. He got to work on his drink.

Hand 9 - He folded preflop to an opening raise and left the table to take a short stroll around the tournament area.
