Level 9: 400/800/100 Ante
Players Remaining: 65/126

Hung Le experienced some success in Event 1 participating in the six-way even chop for $36,620. Despite the deep run, he’s not getting any respect from Frederick Gaines on the felt here in Event 3.

Gaines check-called a river bet of 12,000 on a board of Jc9d4h3cJs.

“Good call,” Le said conceding the pot and exposing KsTc for a busted draw.

Gaines flipped over AsKh for ace-king high and took the medium-sized pot from the Event 1 final tablist.

While it’s Gaines who held the advantage in that pot, Le holds a significant edge in the career earnings department. With over $280,000 in reported scores, Le has a laundry list of cashes that includes a $29,883 payout in the 2007 World Series of Poker Main Event.

Frederick Gaines – 87,500
Hung Le – 50,000
