"Nick Mitchell!" cried the beeriest of the beered-up Mitchell rail. "NICK Mitchell, Nick Mitch-ELL, Nick MITCH-ell," he continued, going through every possible permutation of accent and cadence.
Eventually the rather embarrassed-looking Mitchell couldn't ignore him any longer. "I love you, Tyler," he chuckled. This was the wrong thing to say.
"Oh my god did you hear that?" Tyler enthused. "He looks SO good."
"Why don't you take a shot?" another railer joked.
"I WISH I could take a shot at that," Tyler continued. "God he's so good-looking."
Deepak Bhatti is in full survivor mode; he just pushed all in from the small blind to pick up the blinds and antes uncontested. He remains the short stack at the table, however.
Isaac Settle lost a small pot to Nick Mitchell, and so it was that he was down to just 285,0000 when he shoved from the button. Small blind Cory Brown wasn't interested, but Bart Davis, with the 100,000 big blind already invested in the hand, made the call.

Davis:
Board:
No nasty outdraws spoiled the fun, and Settle doubled up to around 700,000 - but that's still only seven big blinds. The grinding continues...
As quick as a flash, we witness an all-in, Isaac Settle in great shape with versus the of Bart Davis. However, the Poker Gods had other ideas, and after an , their wicked ways prevailed and Isaac was forced to Settle for seventh.
Eliminations are like buses today. Before I'd barely had time to soak up the last exit, we encountered another, Cory Brown following Isaac Settle out of the Amazon Room.
On a flop, all the chips found their way into the middle, Brown in all sorts of bother with versus the of Gabe Constner. The was a blank, and the river filled the flush to send Brown hurtling out in sixth.
Nick Mitchell, currently our chip leader, has been doing an excellent job of ignoring his screaming fans and getting on with the serious business of accumulating more chips.
On one occasion, Mitchell raised in the cutoff and both Gabe Costner and Aadam Daya called in the blinds to see a flop. It checked around to Mitchell who continuation bet and both blinds quickly folded; the Mitchellites went crazy with the screaming and the celebrating and the quaffing and spilling of beers. One of them briefly choked on his drink, but we think he was OK.
A couple hands later and Aadam Daya opened for 250,000 under the gun, only to face a reraise to 580,000 from Mitchell on the button - "As the crowd fell silent," as one of the Mitchellites urged us to report. The blinds both folded, so too did Daya, and the crowd was no longer silent.
"Show your aces!" they cried, but Mitchell didn't show a thing.
One man who's shone today is Gabe Costner; he currently has 3.5 million and is looking in great shape. Still, he's not untouchable, it's anyone's game...
Deepak Bhatti and Nicholas Mitchell chop one up, versus on a . The Mitchellites tried their best to will out a deuce, but to no avail.
Mitchell certainly has his support here today, and they have remained vocal throughout. One chap is perhaps the most intoxicated I have ever seen anyone railing a final table. At any moment I expect him to strip naked and dance on the table. He's already hugged two security guards.
