Le and Hoenig Battle as "Chad's Friend" Arrives

Level 8 : Limits 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Ryan Hoenig raised from the button, Allan Le three-bet from the big blind, and Hoenig called.

At the same time, Jake Schwartz had just arrived at the table, prompting Michael Thorpe to come over from an adjacent table to greet "Chad's friend," much to the dismay of Schwartz.

Schwartz said his hello's while complaining about a recent haircut as Le drew one card and Hoenig three. Le led and Hoenig put in the call.

On the second draw, Le took one and Hoenig took three again.

"This is a key street," Hoenig joked as Le put out a bet. However, Hoenig would immediately raise Le's bet, but he called.

Le opted to stand pat on the final draw, and Hoenig took some time before he opted to draw two. Le bet for a final time and Heonig quickly folded.
