After the hand, Jesus was left with 4,700 while Farnood had upped his stack to 5,100.
At showdown, he held his holecards high up in the air for everyone to see while ragging on the rest of his table, telling them that they're so bad, he's ready to go home and take another 2-hour jacuzzi break . . . all in good fun, of course. It's Mike.
Mike won his gold bracelet in the 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo event in 1989 and is regarded as one of the top split players in the world today.

Amazingly, he was actually fired by President Ronald Reagan the year that all air traffic controllers refused to report to work while bargaining for better benefits.
The president sent 6-7,000 National Guard servicemen to airports around the country to replace them; thus the poker birth of "Miami" John Cernuto.
Cernuto packed his bags and headed to Vegas after he lost his job. He worked as a dealer for one year, but quickly found success as a player and has never looked back.
He's won three WSOP bracelets so far and has President Reagan to thank for altering his life's path.
He's also managed to get Kirk Morrison and Jeff Madsen to join him; they're all drinking beers to help get them through the slow early stages of the tournament.
First place in today's tournament will receive $198,984 and we'll be paying the top 24 places.
The blinds and antes are still relatively low, so they haven't missed much action, relative to their 6,000-chip starting stacks.
