Hang in There

A short-stacked Tommy Hang has doubled up to around 150,000 after his {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} came good against Alex Keating's {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds} on a {3-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {9-Spades} board, all in on the flop.

Trans, Phans and Automobiles

We've attracted a small but very high quality bunch of railers here at the final table.

J.C. Tran is here, as well as John Phan and Chino Rheem. Over on the other side of the table we have Justin Bonomo and Eric Froehlich, and up on the balcony Rob Hollink is sweating his fellow countryman.

Meet Marc Naalden. He Has a Lot of Chips.

Marc Naalden, chip leader since halfway through yesterday evening, is absolutely running over the table.

Just before the break, he called an under-the-gun raise from Steven Cowley to see an {8-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {5-Hearts} flop, which Naalden check-raised. No fewer than five bets on the {7-Clubs} turn made for an enormous pot, and when Cowley called a last bet from Naalden on the {9-Clubs} river, he was most disappointed to see that his {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} for a set was losing to Naalden's {4-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} straight. Naalden moved on up to 1.3 million.

Not only that, he won one more pot as everybody else was heading off for the break. He made a full house with {4-Clubs} {4-Hearts} on an {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} {3-Spades} {4-Spades} {6-Clubs} board. Tommy Hang mucked, leaving himself on 97,000. Naalden meanwhile was up to 1.5 million.

While he's not a household name in the US, we've been taking notice of Mr Naalden over in Europe in recent months. He made the final table of the EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo just recently, and of course Mr Naalden took down the inaugural PokerNews Cup Alpine earlier in the year -- you can read about that victory here.

Obviously all sorts of things can happen, but we have to say right now Naalden is looking pretty good to bring home a bracelet for the Netherlands.

Going Down the John

Ian Johns is down to 200,000. He found himself in a four-way pot but it was only him and Tommy Hang left in by the river of the {4-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} board. Hang bet out on the river, and Johns just folded.

Danny All Qut Up

One man Qut-army
One man Qut-army
There's no stopping the Needle King -- Marc Naalden is up to over 1.1 million.

He raised in mid position and Danny Qutami, from the big blind, was the only caller.

Qutami check-raised the {5-Spades} {8-Clubs} {J-Clubs} flop but Naalden three-bet, and come the {Q-Hearts} turn Qutami was reduced to check-calling. Qutami bet out on the {9-Diamonds} river, but then folded to a raise from Naalden. Curious.

Qutami's down to 275,000.
