Just for completeness of the thread, I thought I'd let you know that Michael Mizrachi made the donkey comment.

I hadn't played a hand since the table had been made into a 10-handed final table. The players who remained were mainly low-limit Internet players, except for Freddy Deeb. I saw several opens in early position with hands like 10-7 and Queen-9, followed by calls of substantial raises.

I waited for a good hand and opened with Ace-King in first position for 70,000. The big blind raised 200,000, and Mizrachi whispered to his wife, "Barry hasn't played a hand. I would need better than pocket jacks to raise there."

When I raised 289,000 more all-in and the hands were tabled, it looked like charity for me. I was about to be the solid chip leader if I won the pot.
