Ivan Tan Slowly Chipping Up

[user75032]

Singapore-based player Ivan Tan is playing his usual quiet game today. Tan has an innate ability to chip up through a series of small pots without ever putting his entire chip stack at risk. We haven't seen Tan in any big pots yet today, but he has managed to increase his stack from the starting 10,000 to 16,000.

A recent hand provides an excellent example of how Tan does it. He raised from middle position to 575 and was called by Liz Lieu on the button and by the small blind. The small blind checked a flop of {10-Clubs}
