Mighty Quinn

[user4144]
[user4144]
Quinn Do has doubled through and now boasts a stack of 5,800. Calling the cutoff's preflop raise of 325 from the button, Do reraised all in for 2,400 when his foe continue bet 500 on the {2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{A-Hearts} flop. Whilst Do had made two pair with {A-Spades}{7-Spades}, his opponent could only muster an {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}, which failed to improve on the {8-Spades} turn and {K-Clubs} river.

People who are OUT include Ben Fineman and Eric Haber.

Those doing well on roughly double their starting stack are Tony Cousineau (acquired thorough knocking out Haber) and Moto Mabuchi (acquired through events unknown).

Those still on around their starting stack include 2006 $1,500 NLHE bracelet winner Anders Henriksson.

Greenstein Patrols

Not playing this event but patrolling the tables, apparently handing out or possibly trying to sell copies of his book, is Barry Greenstein. He's been clutching two copies of said book for quite a while as he's been doing the rounds, so the take-up's clearly been pretty slow so far, but there are plenty of tables yet to try...

Flush Draw No Good for Binger

[user4144]
[user4144]
Nick Binger, brother of former main event finalist Michael, is now pushing up the poker daisies. He found himself in all sorts of bother when he pushed with {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} on an {A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop. His opponent turned over a dominating {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, and although a king on the turn gave Binger some outs, they failed to emerge on the raggy river.

Crippled & Gone

T6 Poker's Anthony Chatelain is heading towards the door. He was initially crippled by a three-way all-in with A-Ks versus A-J versus Q-Q before finally succumbing to pocket queens with pocket sevens for his final 850.

Mizrachi a Monster

Mizrachi has his eye on Vos too

Doing incredibly well is Michael Mizrachi, absolutely crushing his table. He's steaming ahead on a massive 13,000, and has reduced the table, which still includes Australian bracelet winner Mark Vos, to five-handed. Most recently he called an opponent's mid-position push for 1,000 with {K-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} -- his opponent was holding a meager {J-Spades} {7-Spades} and failed to hit the {8-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {6-Spades} board.
