Michael Mizrachi has bitten the dust
Michael Mizrachi has bitten the dust

George Danzer opened with a raise in which Peter Gould made the call, before Michael Mizrachi raised an additional 10,000 more.

Danzer called and Gould folded as Mizrachi stood pat.

Danzer drew one, and after sweating out his final card, cut down a bet of 65,000 to effectively put Mizrachi all in.

After deliberating for several minutes, Mizrachi made the call, only to be shown the {7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} of Danzer.

As Mizrachi made his way to the rail, Danzer soared to 235,000 in chips.

Sagstrom Out, Allemann Advancing

Anton Allemann raised to 4,000 from the cutoff, and Daniel Negreanu called from the button. Then Erik Sagstrom shoved all in from the small blind. Allemann called, and Negreanu folded.

Sagstrom drew one card, while Allemann stood pat. Allemann showed he had a jack-low, and Sagstrom turned over his four original cards -- {10-}{9-}{6-}{4-} -- then squeezed the card he had drawn. Seeing it was no good, he mucked.

Sagstrom is out, while Allemann moves up to 160,000.

Fifth Card Gold for Gould

Michael Binger has been eliminated

Peter Gould opened for 6,000 from middle position, then Michael Binger shoved all in for 14,000 total from the cutoff. The others folded, and Gould called.

Gould took one card, and Binger stood pat. Binger tabled {10-}{9-}{7-}{6-}{4-}. Gould showed his hand -- {7-}{6-}{5-}{3-} were the ones he'd kept, and {8-} the card he'd drawn. Binger is out, and Gould is up to 138,000.

Cassidy (Epicly) Squeezes Out Double

After a series of raises preflop with around 30,000 in the pot, Jason Mercier moved all in for just over 60,000 from the big blind to put Joe Cassidy to a decision for his last 33,800.

After several minutes deliberating, Cassidy made the call drawing one to his {8-}{6-}{5-}{2-} as Mercier also drew one to his {9-}{6-}{5-}{2-}.

Mercier found the {10-} as Cassidy began squeezing out his card like he belonged in the Baccarat rooms in Macau!

"It has spots" he stated (meaning that it wasn't an ace, two, three or paint).

Cassidy began to slowly squeeze along the longer edge of the card to reveal three dots.

"I'm a two-to-one dog" he added (referring to the fact he was sweating a six, seven or eight and could now only hit a seven to stay alive)

Cassidy continued to squeeze it out - this time from the corner - and revealed a middle dot meaning that he was now even money to stay alive as it was definitely a seven or an eight.

As John Juanda, Eli Elezra and Tom Dwan watched closely at Cassidy's mastery squeezing ability, he continued to roll it up to finally reveal the {7-Clubs} to keep him alive in the tournament with 95,000 as Mercier slips to just 30,000 in chips.

Negreanu Calls Allemann's Bluff

Daniel Negreanu raised to 6,000 from under the gun, and the table folded around to Swiss pro Anton Allemann who reraised to 19,000 from the big blind. Negreanu called.

Allemann stood pat, while Negreanu discarded one. Allemann then announced he was all in, sending Negreanu deep into the tank. He had a little over 30,000 left with which to play, and Allemann had him well covered. Finally Negreanu made the call.

Allemann turned over his bluff -- {J-}{4-}{4-}{3-}-X -- while Negreanu tabled {9-}{8-}{7-}{5-}{2-}. Negreanu doubles back to 107,000, almost even with Allemann who slides to 110,000.

Schulman drew one while Mercier stood pat. Mercier had {J-}{9-}{8-}{6-}{4-}, while Schulman showed {8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}... and a {2-}. Mercier is out, while Schulman is up to 66,000.
