Hand #71 - Marty Smyth

Michael Mizrachi has the button in Seat 4. Billy "The Croc" Argyros completes the small blind, and Marty Smyth checks.

On a flop of {j-Spades} {10-Spades} {a-Spades}, Argyros bets 80,000 and Smyth calls. Both players check the turn {4-Hearts}. A fourth spade falls on the river -- the {3-Spades}. Both players check again, with Smyth turning over a hand that includes a king and a queen for a Broadway straight. That's a winner.

Hand #69 - Marty Smyth

[Removed:14] has the button in Seat 9. Marty Smyth raises to 150,000, getting one caller: Michael Mizrachi, from the big blind. Both players check the {2-Clubs} {7-Spades} {k-Spades} flop. The turn is another black card, the {10-Clubs}. Mizrachi fires 200,000. The fireworks start after Smyth raises, Mizrachi reraises all in and Smyth calls.

Mizrachi: {10-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {6-Hearts}
Smyth: {k-Hearts} {j-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {8-Diamonds}

Each player has two pair. Smyth's two pair, kings and tens, are better than Mizrachi's tens and sevens. Smyth also has a gutshot straight draw. For his part, Mizrachi has a club flush draw and some straight draws of his own. Everyone misses everything when the river falls {4-Hearts}. Smyth doubles up.

Hand #68 - Billy Argyros

Marty Smyth has the button in Seat 8. Michael Mizrachi limps under the gun, and Billy Argyros limps from the cutoff seat. Both blinds come along to see the cheap flop.

It brings {8-Spades} {3-Spades} {7-Clubs}. The blinds check to The Grinder, and he bets out 105,000. Argyros matches it, and Peter Jetten calls as well.

The turn is the {7-Spades}. All three remaining players check.

Fifth street: {9-Clubs}. Jetten and Mizrachi check, and it's left to The Croc to bet 200,000. Jetten folds and Mizrachi re-checks his cards, mutters something, and folds as well. The Croc chomps down this pot.

Hand #67 - Michael Mizrachi

Billy "The Croc" Argyros has the button in Seat 5. Michael Mizrachi, Argyros, Marty Smyth and [Removed:14] take a four-way flop in an unraised pot. On a flop of {5-Clubs} {q-Diamonds} {a-Spades}, Mizrachi takes a stab at the pot with a bet of 200,000. It's a successful stab when everyone else folds.

Hand #66 - Marty Smyth

Michael Mizrachi has the button in Seat 4. Action folds to him, and he raises to 125,000. Billy Argyros folds his small blind, and Marty Smyth makes the call from the big.

Flop: {7-Hearts} {6-Spades} {10-Clubs}. Smyth checks, and Mizrachi taps the table as well.

Turn: {3-Spades}. Again, check check.

The river brings the {10-Hearts}. Smyth checks, and The Grinder fires out 75,000 chips. Smyth quickly calls and shows down {K-Spades} {7-Clubs} {4-Spades} {3-Diamonds}. His tens and sevens are the winning combination, and he takes down the pot.

Hand #65 - Michael Mizrachi

Peter Jetten has the button in Seat 3. He opens the pot for 125,000. Michael Mizrachi, sitting in the small blind, is the only caller. He checks the {2-Clubs} {j-Hearts} {3-Spades} flop, and Jetten checks behind. The turn {10-Hearts} brings a bet of 200,000 from Mizrachi. Jetten wants nothing to do with it; he lays down his hand.

Hand #63 - Billy "The Croc" Argyros

Marty Smyth has the button in Seat 8. Billy "the Croc" Argyros raises, folding everyone else.

There was a dealer push in between Hand No. 62 and No. 63. It seems that the dealer leaving the box forgot to move the button after the huge hand between Michael Mizrachi and Kido Pham. We believe an error was made, as it appears that Marty Smyth got the button two hands in a row.
