Thai Ha

 

Thai Ha returned from the dinner with just over 1,700,000 but he wasted no time putting his chips to work. Ha has already more than doubled his chip stack after the brake.

He now sits in second on the chip counts trailing only chip leader Colm Singh who is playing close to 6,000,000. Just 25 Event 1 players remain and Ha is well with striking distance of the chip lead as he looks for his third BPO title.
