A hand from this weekends 3-6 LHE game at the Mirage. 10 players at the table. Lately there’s been a big swing to the end of the table where these 4 players are sitting in a row, so there are chips to burn. In particular, Players 2 and 4 are the latest to build deep stacks. Player 1 was there prior to the others arrivals and has a nice stack, and Player 3 is the newest to the table, though he’s already won a pot or 2 since arriving.
