Event 1: Storms are Brewing

$500 + $60 Deep Stack NL (2 Re-entry)

Cheng Chalks up a Win

Tim Latouch (Hatboro, PA), who started the day 8th in chips (448k) and Yat Cheng (Charlotte, NC), who finished 2nd in Borgata's November Deep Stack Double Play, butt heads on Table 2.

Latouch opens from the high jack position to 14k (3k/6k blinds)
Cheng 3-bets to 4ok total from the big blind
Latouch re-popped to 93k total
Cheng 5-bets to 193k, leaving himself with 100k and making the pot nearly 4ook.

Latouch puts up the white flag and folds saying, "six, seven of hearts?"
Cheng's response, "a little better than that."

Cheng started the the hand with 300k and is now up to 50ok, while Latouch drops to 390k.

Level 17 continues.
