Chip Leader Update

donpeters

Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi is steamrolling the field and has amassed a chip stack of around 600,000 chips! His next closest competitor has under 250,000.

On a recent hand, The Grinder put in a nice reraise after a player opened and two others called. Everyone folded and Mizrachi showed pocket kings.

"It looked like such a squeeze play, what perfect timing," he said as he thought one of the players might shove on him.

David Daneshgar Knocks Out an Opponent

[user108095]

David Daneshgar called a preflop all-in bet from a short-stacked opponent and he was happy to see his pocket kings were way ahead of pocket sevens. A king on the flop helped seal the deal, but Daneshgar still had to sweat the river when a seven hit the turn.
