Filtz Feeling Fine

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

During that long first hand when players were waiting for Angel Guillen to make his decision, Samad Rashid was busy counting the chips of his neighbor, Justin Filtz.

"380�� 400�� 420," said Rashid, noting that Filtz -- our current chip leader -- has about 420,000. "Why did you come back?" said Rashid. "You could get some sleep in the room, man. Let us all bust out and come back later!"

Filtz chuckled, looking content in his seat as the next hand was finally being dealt. A count of Rashid's chips shows he has 148,000.
