Nicholson Plays Out of the Rough

David Nicholson has been hovering right around the starting stack of 20,000 whenever we've passed by his table. Wearing a green Master's cap today, Nicholson and many other players in the spacious Harrah's Cherokee Event Center have had their attentions occasionally taken up by the huge projection screen where today's second round of the Master's has been playing out.

Nicholson was intent on the cards during our most recent pass, however, firing a bet of 2,000 into pot slightly larger than that following a flop. His opponent hemmed and hawed a little, then mucked, and Nicholson claimed some chips as others around him looked up to see Tiger Woods's next shot.
