With Jason Mercier limping on the button, Matt Zoorob decided to raise it up, only for the big blind (who appears to have eaten his player card) to call, and Mercier to move all in for 13,900. Both players called.
The dealer rolled out the first three cards: . "Pot," announced Zoorob confidently. "All-in," countered the big blind. "Call," came the reply.
Zoorob:
BB:
Mercier :
With just one pair, Mercier was in piping hot water, and it got even hotter as the turn and river came and respectively to send him to the rail. Zoorob, meanwhile, scooped up the pot with a set of tens and now has 165,000 as a result.
Laszlo Filetoth opened to 5,600 from under the gun and the action folded to Doug Carli who called in the hijack seat. Peter Costa three-bet to 20,600 on the button, the blinds released and Filetoth moved all in for 28,500 total. Carli was very confused, but after a moment for clarification he called and so too did Costa.
The flop fell and Carli moved all in for 42,000. Costa snap-crackle-pop called and all three hands were opened:
Showdown
Filetoth:
Carli:
Costa:
The turn and river both brought sixes and Costa's aces held. Both Filetoth and Carli hit the rail while Costa stacked his newfound chips and he now sits with 160,000 of them.
A big pot had already accumulated in the middle, but when Michael Mixer slid his final 7,300 across the line on a flop, he didn't expect to be ahead, his ahead, but looking to dodge more bullets than Phil Hellmuth at a firing range against the of Sergey Altbregin.
Although Mixer didn't quite swing those hips enough to dodge the turn, he still had plenty of cards for the redraw, one of which arrived in the form of the river. That last-ditch straight means Mixer is still alive and kicking, and now has around 45,000 in chips. Russian amateur Altbregin, meanwhile, has dropped to 125,000.
