Two for the Tillerman

Dee Tiller just arrived a little before the break began. Came just in time, apparently.

On one of his first hands, Marcel Luske, Tiller, Marco Traniello, and Mike Wattel all limped, then drew four, three, three, and three respectively. Those draws must've been good, because a series of raises on the next round ended with the betting capped, and all four still in the hand.

Luske drew two, Tiller one, and the other two stood pat. This time Traniello bet, Wattel raised, Luske folded, and Tiller and Traniello called.

On the third draw, Tiller took one, and Traniello -- having stood pat previously -- drew one as well. Wattel stood pat. Wattel bet, and both called.

Tiller showed 8-6-4-3-2 and the other two mucked. Traniello and Wattel are both down to 3,500, and Luske has 2,700.

Tiller would win a second hand just after, and has quickly moved up to 10,500.
