#4 NLHE 3X

With Andrei in the small and James in the big, Tong makes the call from under the gun.

Chris, on the button, asks how much Tong has behind...he thinks for a while...and reluctantly folds.

Andrei makes up the small and James checks.



Andrei and James both check, Tong makes it 12k to go and Andrei and James both fold quickly.

Any update on Bomberman Clark Tom? He still got a tasty stack?

[IrishTom]

The only remaining event of the day, #5 Mix Max, reaches the Heads Up stage as we lose 2 players in the same hand, meaning we go to Heads Up with 17 players - therefore the Chip Leader (who would have played the lowest stack) has received a bye into the Final Table 9... the Chip Leader being Tom Clark with 119k.
