Mizrachi Hits the Rail

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Michael Mizrachi
Michael Mizrachi

Michael Mizrachi moved all in for his final 3,500 and Jolmer Meelis called his shove from the big blind.

Meelis tabled {A-}{K-} and he was well ahead against {A-}{8-}, but the flop turned things around when {Q-}{9-}{8-} popped up.

The turn was a {4-} and the river a {K-} and that sealed it for Mizrachi. He got knocked out again and Meelis added the chips to his stack.

Magan Tier Loses Crucial Flip

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Miguel Magan Tier got up from the table and headed for the exit. He talked to David Boyaciyan and we overheard the details of his exit.

Guy Goossens opened to 3,000 before the flop and Magan Tier shoved all in for 10,000. Goossens made the call with {K-}{Q-} and Magan Tier showed his {7-}{7-}. Goossens hit a king on the flop and Magan Tier couldn't find a seven on the turn or river.

Mizzi Getting Busy, Busts Kenney

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Sorel Mizzi and Bryn Kenney
Sorel Mizzi and Bryn Kenney

Bryn Kenney walked by the media room, mentioned he busted but was still in time two register two online tournaments, and would be back here tomorrow morning to register just before Day 2. He fist bumped the reporters and made his way to the exit while playing on his iPhone.

There was no time to ask him what had happened as everything just went by so fast, but luckily for us, one of our colleagues got the details.

Sorel Mizzi opened to 1,600 and Bryn Kenney made it 4,200 to go. Mizzi made the call. With {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} on the flop, Mizzi check-called a bet of 4,500 from Kenney.

The {Q-Diamonds} hit the turn and Mizzi checked again. Kenney wasn't backing down though and bet 10,000 with about 10,000 behind. Not much later, he called the rest as Mizzi check-shoved.

Sorel Mizzi: {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Bryn Kenney: {A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

Kenny needed a diamond to stay alive, but wouldn't get it. Instead the {7-Clubs} popped up and Kenney hit the rail. Mizzi is one of the bigger stacks in the room after this hand.

Van den Bijgaart Gets a Fold

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

We just caught the end of a hand won bij Joep van den Bijgaart, when he bet 11,600 on {A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. Van den Bijgaart was seated in the small blind, and his opponent in the big blind folded after a while.

Van den Bijgaart now sits on 70,000 chips, and things finally seem to be going his way on his fourth bullet.

Hoedemaker Eliminated

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Micha Hoedemaker walked past the media desk and motioned he had been eliminated. Upon seeing our questioning face, he told us he had opened with {A-}{K-}, only to face a three-bet by Guy Goossens. Hoedemaker had shoved, and Goossens had called with {K-}{K-}. The board came no higher than a queen and Hoedemaker hit the rail.
