flop. It checked to Fricke who bet 4,000, and both players passed, leaving him to pick up the pot. Fricke's up to 24,000. McEvoy, by the by, has 7,200.
No, just kidding, he's taken a couple small hits but they've barely dented his enormous stack.
First off a gent pushed for just 1,775 in early position and Yeh called from the big blind without even looking at his cards. The short stack was dominating with
against Yeh's 
and failed to hit, and the short stack doubled.A little later Yeh raised to 1,050 under the gun and the cutoff called, only for the small blind to push for 4,225. Yeh went over the top for 21,150, the cutoff folded and they were on their backs.
Yeh:

Board: a most fortunate-for-the-short-stack
Nevertheless, Yeh is still on 69,000 and we have yet to find a stack bigger than his.

Nevertheless, spying a gentleman at the tables wearing the traditional dog collar, I couldn't help but be curious. Prop bet seemed more likely somehow, but Mr. Michael Wernette, of Chicago, assures us that he is indeed a bona fide priest, trying his luck right here in the Amazon Room. He's currently on around 9,500 in chips -- below average, but he's not in need of any divine intervention just yet. Marvellous.
flop. He check-called a 2,500 bet, and proceeded to the turn.Turn:
Again Mizrachi checked and this time when his opponent bet 5,000, he raised to 10,000. His opponent moved in for 17,750 and Mizrachi called, as you do when you've turned a full house.
Mizrachi:
Mr Opponent:
River: a meaningless
Mizrachi up to 51,000.
He open-shoved for his last 2,750 from the cutoff, but Phil Hellmuth found
on the button and called. No hope for Mr Gazes on the 
board, and out went he and his hat with a gentlemanly handshake.Hellmuth is up to a slightly below average 11,200.
I strolled past his table just in time to see him bet out 1,600 on a
flop and then insta-fold with a grin when his opponent announced all in.
Meanwhile former big stack fallen on hard times Sunny Chattha is having a miserable time of it -- he's down to 5,000 now and looks extremely depressed.
