Former Chip Leaders Battle in a Small Pot
It's always fascinating to hear stories of high-stakes cash game players who lose their roll and have to rebuild it at lower stakes. How does their ego stand it? Will they get back to former glories?
Nick Yunis and and Andrea Benelli both ended their respective days ones very near the top of the counts, but today is a whole new day. Both are scratching around for any chips that'll let them stay alive. Ten big blind pots were small change yesterday, today they could mean the difference between glory and the rail.
The two players were involved in a small three-way pot that had made the turn. The board read 
and Benelli led for 7,100, only to be called by Yunis. The river came 
and both players checked.
Benelli announced, "I have a six."
Yunis waited until Benelli opened 
and then he mucked.
