EPT Barcelona Open Main Event
Day: 1a
Alexander the Great
Kravchenko now on over 14,000.
Michael Mizrachi Eliminated
Apparently Mizrachi had top set holding on an flop with two clubs. He got all his chips in against and came up short when the turn was a club and the river failed to pair the board.
Despite the beat, Mizrachi is in good spirits, strolling around the tournament area and checking in on his friends and brother.
Monty Python
He was scooping in his chips at the time, but I would estimate that the November Niner now has around the 35 to 40,000 mark.
Likely Chip Leader
Fingers Caught in the Cookie Jar
Ed de Haas Hits the Flop....Hard!
De Haas called for a six, but was much happier to see the flop come . His opponent was drawing dead to a chop and de Haas let out an expletive-laden triumph chant.
The turn and river fell the and respectively and de Haas now commands a stack just shy of 30,000 chips.
Setback for Paasonen
As a result, Paasonen drops to 25,500.
Five More Hands
