De La Gorce Wins Delagrossly

James Guinther will be remembering this exit for awhile...

All in preflop holding {A-Spades} {7-Spades} against opponent Guillaume de la Gorce's {A-Clubs} {7-Clubs}, Guinther cringed when the flop delivered three clubs, putting an abrupt end to his tournament life.

Meanwhile, de la Gorce moves on to the round of 64, and is now guaranteed at least $14,438 in prize money.

Chris Bush Defeats Tony G

Earlier, Chris Bush and Tony G tangled in a preflop all in, Bush holding {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} to Tony G's {K-Hearts} {3-Hearts}. Bush's hand held up on the king-high board and Tony G was crippled to only 14,000 in chips.

Shortly thereafter, Bush limped on the button, Tony G moved all in from the big blind and Bush called.

Tony G {K-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}

Bush {A-Hearts} {J-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} and the G got on his bike while Bush advanced to Round 3.

Robert Mizrachi Eliminates Jeff Lisandro

Nobody Beats the Miz
Nobody Beats the Miz
On a flop of K-4-2, all the money went into the middle with Robert Mizrachi holding K-10, and Jeff Lisandro holding K-8. A ten came on the turn, ending Lisandro's tournament.

To rub salt in the wound, the river was an 8, making Lisandro, a lesser two pair. After comparing stacks for a minute, it was clear that Mizrachi had Lisandro covered, and Robert Mizrachi advances to the next round.
