Scott Mitchell bets 200,000 and gets his opponent to fold. He seems about to show his hand. Phil Gordon says, "The book says don't show it."

Mitchell: "I have your book, but I've never actually read it."

The crowd howls.

"I'm not surprised," Gordon says sarcastically.

Mitchell shows his aces anyway.

Break it Down

[user22113]

Another break, another color-up. All of the purple 500 chips (despite the TD's announcements, they are clearly not pink - they match the purple felt) are going away, as well as most of the orange 1000s. Some oranges will stay around for antes and blinds, but stacks will consist of mostly grey 5000s and yellow 10,000s, making counting a snap. Blinds will be 4000/8000 with a 1000 ante.
