There were 19 hands of Hold'em. Kenny Tran won 5 of them while John Hanson and Freddy Deeb won 4 each. Barry Greenstein took the biggest hit and slipped to under 200K in chips by the end of the Hold'em round. Deeb's aggression paid off as he inched closer to chipleader Amnon Filippi. At one point, less than 500K separated the two players. Towards the end of the round, the action became passive with players folding to the big blind on three instances.
