Hong Tough
We caught up with him on the flop, when Catherine Hong bet out 2,100. Chattha made it 6,200, Hong called, and they proceeded.
We must confess that we were momentarily distracted on the turn so we missed the action, but re-focused come the turn, which Hong checked. Chattha bet a chunky 15,000 and Hong called.
Chattha: for flopped trips
Hong: for flopped two pair that turned into a flush on the river
"Nice hand," sighed Chattha, tapping the table in acknowledgment. Hong, nonchalantly munching on a sandwich, is up to 80,000.
