With Jamie Gold fighting to hold on to all of his Main Event winnings and Richard Lee fighting to hold on to his freedom while under investigation by San Antonio lawmen, with Phil Hellmuth happy with his tenth bracelet and online poker rooms setting up for the next year's qualifiers, it would seem like there are plenty of World Series of Poker stories to go around. PokerShare.com, however, is intent on pushing the story of Mikey the Chip, the rejected simian player who took a shot at participating in the Main Event this year. When the chimpanzee was rejected from play, the trainer was very disappointed, as she was hoping her trainee really could win money. While most considered Mikey's participation a joke, Marcel Luske played with the chimp and declared he seemed to know what he was doing, and that the Flying Dutchman enjoyed the game with the chimp. Mikey's handlers are hoping to get him involved in a major poker event still.
