So much for the joint being quiet. It was Nenad Medic's flopped flush that gave the crowd voice -- when the dealer spread those three spades there was a collective "Whoa!!!" that revved everyone up. With every all-in the crowd has stood as one and leaned close, and when Kathy Liebert spiked that ten to save her tournament life there were scores of raised fists and a lot of shouting from her sizable group of supporters. Still not an empty seat in the house.
