Fricke Treading Water

A player in middle position raised to 700 and both the button and Jimmy Fricke in the big blind called. The flop came {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}, Fricke checked, and the preflop raiser bet 1,250. The button folded but Fricke called. The turn brought the {8-Hearts} inducing a check from both players and the river was the {6-Spades}. Fricke took the lead betting out 4,000 and his opponent thought for a minute before flashing the {j-Spades} and tossing his hand into the muck.

Fricke didn't reveal his hand but scooped up the pot. His stack has been stuck just over 20,000 since the dinner break but we wouldn't be surprised to see him make some big moves before the end of the night.
