Hwang Building a Big Stack
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
Andy Hwang, the man who eliminated Pierre Neuville earlier in the day, raised to 1,200 after action folded to him on the button.
Norway's Mikal Blomlie defended from the big, and then both players checked the 
flop as well as the 
turn. When the 
completed the board on the river, Blomlie led out for 2,150 and Hwang quickly folded.
It wasn't much of a hand, but it gave us a good excuse to tell you that Hwang, a World Poker Tour champion, has worked his stack up to 140,000.
