Bellande Lays It Down
Level 6: 150,000-300,000, 30,000 ante
Chau Giang bets T4,800 and Jean-Robert Bellande calls. Curt Kohlberg raises to T18,000 and Chau goes into the tank. He eventually folds, but then Bellande goes into the tank as well. This is a very audible version of going into the tank, as Bellande considers his options. He folds and says to Kohlberg, "I'm about fed up with this guy."

Massive Overbet Freezes Nam
Level 6: 150,000-300,000, 30,000 ante
We've seen some questionable plays today on Day 2, but the following baffeled even Nam Le...
Ted Lawson calls from the cut off seat and Nam Le calls from the button. The small blind folds and the big blind checks his option.
The flop comes K
Q
J
. The big blind checks, as does Lawson. Nam then bets T2,000. He is immediately raised to T30,000. *Remember, there is only T8,000 in the pot.
The table chuckles as Lawson folds. When action gets back to Nam he quietly goes into the tank. After a few moment of silence Nam asks how much he has left. Nam eyes up the T70,000 in his opponent's stack and he folds.
