Fricke Sitting at Action Central

"It's been like this every hand," Jimmy Fricke confided when we went back to his table to see how things were developing over there. Fricke was referring to a ridiculous amount of action on a {3-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {7-Hearts} flop. Fricke started things off with a preflop raise to 3,500 that was called by a player in late position and the big blind.

Those two players went to war on the flop, with bets and raises of 7,000, 27,000 total, 52,000 total, all-in 203,000, and call all in 110,000 total. (Fricke had gotten out on the flop without putting in a single chip.) The all-in player showed down {8-Clubs} {8-Hearts}; his opponent flopped a set of sevens, {7-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}. The board ran out {A-Hearts} {4-Spades} to send the all-in player to the rail.

During the hand, Andrew Gaw was broken to Fricke's table. He brought with him 580,000 chips -- a potentially tournament-leading stack.
