The Dragon Doubles Through Jett

His opponent mucked and Chan saw his stack grow to around 140,000.
Don’t Bully Your Seniors
Berry Johnston bet 2,500 on a flop of 2102, and seat 5 decided it was time to test the former main event winner by raising to 6,600. Johnston thought for a minute, then threw out five 5,000 chips. Seat 5 thought briefly and then mucked his hand.
Johnston had around 55,000 after the hand.
 Junglen Drops One
Picking up the action after the turn, the board read K935. Adam Junglen fired 2,100 and the player in seat 4 made the call.

Al Barbieri Yells his Opinion
A shouting match recently erupted over at table 26 between Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri and Ryan Young. Young was involved in a hand and asked his opponent, "You don't want to knock me out, do you?"
This table talk upset Barbieri who felt that Young was inducing a particular action with his words. Most of the table came to Young's defense and agreed he had done nothing wrong, but an irrate Barbieri continued the rant anyway. Tournament Director Matt Savage came over and agreed that Young never disclosed the contents of his hand and did nothing wrong. Order was restored and play continued, albeit with more tension than before.
