Greg Hartwick Eliminated in 13th Place ($4,415)

Greg Hartwick

Nachman Berlin has added another to his list of causalties here on Day 2. Greg Hartwick opened with a raise preflop with {j-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} and Berlin called on the button with {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. The two players checked the {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop, and the {k-Clubs} fell on the turn. A quick sequence of bets and raises resulted with Hartwick moving all in for around 250,000. Berlin called, and the river failed to improve Hartwick's hand. He'll take home $4,415 for 13th place.

Berlin is our new chip leader with close to 1 million.

Michael Mizrachi Eliminated in 14th Place ($4,415)

Michael Mizrachi 14th Place
Michael Mizrachi 14th Place

Michael Mizrachi's rollercoaster ride through the DeepStacks Western New York Poker Championship has come to an end. After losing a sizeable pot to Nachman Berlin moments earlier, Mizrachi open shoved for his last 52,000 from the button with {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. Berlin folded in the small blind, but Mike Crystal peeked down at {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds} in the big blind and made the call.

A {Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop gave "The Grinder" the lead ... momentarily. After the dealer rolled over the {2-Spades} on the turn, the {10-Spades} spiked on the river to give Crystal a higher pain and the win. Mizrachi began Day 2 with the chip lead and provided everyone here at Seneca Niagara will several memorable moments during his deep run. The thirteen players remaining can breathe a deep sigh of relief now that the last member of Team Deepstacks has been eliminated.

Dietrich Kuhlmann 15th Place.
Dietrich Kuhlmann 15th Place.

Facing a 26k open from Michael Wachowski, Dietrich Kuhlmann shipped it in for an additional 113k.

After a good three minutes in the tank, Wachowski made the call and a classic race was on with Kuhlmann holding {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and Wachowski on {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}.

The {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop was a good one for Wachowski, and after the {4-Clubs} turn and {a-Hearts} river, Kuhlmann's run at the DeepStacks Seneca Niagara title ended.
