Cory Carroll entered the day as the chipleader. On Hand #8, he won the first of what might be several pots against David "The Dragon" Pham. With the chiplead, Carroll can afford to play looser and see more flops than the rest of the table. The Dragon is a cagey player and has been known to play a lot of hands. The aggressiveness of The Dragon combined with the Carroll's big stack could mean some explosive action somewhere down the line.
