Mitchell Extends His Lead, Ignores His Rail

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 {k-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{a-Hearts} 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.
