Just Happy to Be Here

Happy Mike
One player who is all smiles and just seems happy to be here is Michael DeMichele. The Connecticut native can't win a pot without an ear to ear grin. Each time he stacks the chips he gets a frenzied roar from his legion of supporters on the rail. DeMichele, who seems to be taking more than his fair share of pots, looks back at his gallery almost every time he takes one down. His excitement, while quite blatant, lacks the brash arrogance that accompanies most similar celebrations as it's obvious he recognizes the company he is in. His demeanor could best be described as genuine excitement. And why shouldn't it?...this will be DeMichele's largest career cash and he's competing against the best players in the world.
