These Aren't the Cards You're Looking For

Small pots are becoming more the norm now that the field has thinned. Some players have amassed massive stacks in that way. We haven't called Sam Chartier's name at all this afternoon, but he's managed to chip all the way up to 42,000. He tried raising the button to 950 in a recent hand, but had to fold with a wry smile after the small blind reraised all in for 5,325.

Just two tables over, Michael "Timex" McDonald was the player in the big blind facing a raise of 850. He called, then check-folded to a bet of 1,400 when the dealer produced a flop of {6-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {J-Hearts}.
