Nam Le

We feel like Nam Le has been grinding, and grinding, and grinding his way through this tournament without ever having many chips. He just got a shot in the arm.

A short stack opened all in for 78,000 and was called by the player on his left. Action folded to Le, who then reraised all in for a total of 120,000. That folded all other players back to the original caller, who called that raise as well.

All-in player: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

Caller:

{10-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

Le:

{K-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out safely for Le, {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{6-Diamonds}

{3-Clubs}

{j-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

. He eliminated the all-in player and crippled the caller in the process of increasing his count from 120,000 to almost 330,000.
