Mizrachi Takes One From Filippi

After checking on fourth street, Amnon Filippi fired on fifth street with {Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{K-Clubs} and Robert Mizrachi made the call showing {K-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

On sixth street Filippi caught the {7-Hearts} and fired another bet with a pair on board, but Mizrachi called once again after getting the {2-Diamonds}.

On the river Filipi checked, and this time Mizrachi bet out with Filippi calling. Mizrachi showed ({A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}) {K-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for aces and eights which was good as Filippi mucked his hand.

Mizrachi moved to 29,000 and Filippi slips to 18,000.

Thing Beginning to Get Interesting

We should start to see many more bust-outs over the next couple of levels as the betting levels become a larger percentage of the starting-stack size. By level 8, bets on fifth through seventh street will represent 10 percent of the original starting-stack size.

Table 1 = Murderer's Row

A couple of tables have just been broken and Michael Mizrachi has just joined table one. This is the current lineup at table one:

Seat 3: Maureen Feduniak
Seat 4: Sean Sheikhan
Seat 5: Hoyt Corkins
Seat 6: David Benyamine
Seat 7: Katja Thater
Seat 8: Michael Mizrachi

Negreanu Surges

Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu
Rob Hollink fired out a bet on fourth street showing {K-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Daniel Negreanu made the call with {9-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

On fifth street Negreanu paired up with the {10-Clubs} and fired out a bet which Hollink called with the {7-Diamonds}.

On sixth street Negreanu bet out again with the {K-Spades} and Hollink raised after catching the {Q-Clubs}. Negreanu then threee-bet and Hollink went into the tank. After spending several minutes in deep thought he eventually laid down his hand asking, "Are you rolled-up?" and sure enough, Negreanu flashed {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for rolled-up nines which had made a full house on fifth street.

A few minutes later Negreanu amazingly found himself with another rolled-up hand, this time with tens. He then spiked a fourth ten to give him quads as his opponent got away from the action.

With a nice run of cards Negreanu now finds himself with the tournament chip leaders with about 50,000 in chips.

Raymer Busts Forrest

Ted Forrest had the last of his money in on fifth street against Greg Raymer with the boards running out as follows:

Raymer: ({Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}) {4-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{A-Spades} ({8-Clubs})
Forrest: ({6-Clubs}{A-Hearts}) {J-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{K-Clubs} ({8-Spades})

Forrest could only make a pair of jacks which were unable to overcome the queens and fours of Raymer, to eliminate Forrest from today's event. Raymer now sits with a mountain of chips in front of him totalling over 55,000.
