It has not been a good start to the day for Kenny Tran. His Big Slick went down in flames again, this time to the queens of David Bannister. Tran did pick up a small side pot in the hand but appears generally frustrated. He has had words a few times with the dealer at his table for not counting out chips well.
On the other hand, Shane 'shaniac' Schleger is as cool as a cucumber. With hand-for-hand play commenced, Schleger has started reading a copy of today's newspaper.
