Pechac rebounds from chip and a chair
Jim Pechac began the day with just 2,000 chips, and at one point yesterday had 1,000 chips. So to say he's come back strong today would be quite an understatement. After winning a number of pots to get all the way to 75,00 chips, Pechac called a raise by Mallory Smith preflop. He then bet out on the flop, turn and river of a A3382 board. Smith called him down and Pechac flipped over 8543 for a full house and five low to scoop the pot. After the hand Pechac had 110,000 chips.
