Interesting Facts

We managed to go nine hands without seeing a flop, and on the tenth hand, John Conroy led out for 155,000 and JC Tran called. After seeing the flop, Conroy checked and Tran led out for 140,000 and John folded.

Joe Pelton has been all in three times over the last fifteen hands and has yet to be called. Peter Nguyen has been all in three times and also has yet to be called.

We lost four players within the first hour and a half of play, but since we've been at five players remaining, we've yet to lose another. We have had several all-ins with no calls.

Hand #98: J.C. Tran

Peter Nguyen had the button. John Conroy raised to 155,000, and J.C. Tran called from the cutoff. The others folded.

The flop came {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Conroy checked, and Tran bet 140,000. Conroy folded.

A smattering of applause followed. They've been lulled a bit by so few showdowns.

Hand #93: Rasmus Nielsen

Peter Nguyen had the button. It folded to Rasmus Nielsen who pushed all in from the small blind. Joe Pelton folded from the big blind.

Nielsen still has around 4.5 million, a commanding chip lead.
