Back-To-Back Loses For Nitsche
Level 13
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Dominik Nitsche has not had the best of starts since coming back from the last break; but the young German still has 150,000 chips at his disposal.
The first saw him raise Elias Abou Saleh's 7,600 bet to 17,500 on a 
flop but then quickly fold when Abou Saleh came over the top again and made it 36,600 to play.
Then the very next hand Nitsche opened to 4,000 from middle position and found callers in the shape of Tuan Le (small blind) and Alexey Popov (big blind). The flop came down 
and the action checked to Nitsche, who bet 6,500. Only Le called and it was heads-up to the 
turn. Le checked and Nitsche checked behind.
Fifth street was the 
and Le tapped the table and checked, Nitsche checked too and then mucked when Le showed 
for a turned straight.
Sincar, Tailor, Solider, Spy
It's the biggest pot of the tournament so far and its gone to Hüsnü Sincar. Chino Rheem had raised then four-bet against Sincar's reraise to see a 
flop. Rheem continued his aggression there but Sincar called to see the 
on the turn.
Rheem moved all in and Sincar snap-called.
Rheem: 
Sincar: 
The river was the 
and Sincar hit a huge double up, Rheem meanwhile, has gone out to have a cigarette break.

Mizrachi Moves Up
Perhaps it's sometimes forgotten that it was fact Robert Mizrachi of the famous clan that was the first to win a WSOP bracelet. His steady ascent is continuing as he just had a 19,000 bet paid off on the river of a 
board but an opponent.
Mizrachi showed 
- just the nuts then. He's got about 200,000

Manig Certainly Not A Loeser
German pro Manig Loeser is flying high and is now approaching a quarter of a million chips, thanks in part to a huge pot won from [Removed:2].
The board read 
and Maksoud checked over to pristine-white shirted Loeser who bet 27,100 into a pot containing over 100,000 chips. Maksoud took the bait and moved all-in and a calm and collected Loeser said,"I call," and showed 
for the nut flush, much to the annoyance of Maksoud.

Mizrachi Snares Himself A Fox
Level 13
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
A preflop raising war between Robert Mizrachi and Stuart Fox broke out that with Mizrachi in the small blind and Fox in the hijack. Mizrachi had a 16,000 bet in front of him and was deciding how to respond to Stuart Fox putting in a raise of his own; this raise was for an additional 20,300 chips.
Mizrachi eventually called and it was heads-up to the flop. Despite the aggressive preflop action, both players checked the flop but when the landed on the turn Mizrachi lead out with a 24,000 bet and Fox quickly released his hand.
Speaking of Mizrachi, check out this interview we did with him earlier today.
Jeilbreak
Chadi Ojeil has a great record here in Cyprus but he's just been eliminated from the WPT. All in with 
against Manig Loeser's 
, he was ahead but then the German flopped the joint when the board came 
.
Loeser had a tough day one, but he's doing well here, up to 280,000.
