As it turned out, the number of players hit 10 and the level ended at exactly the same time. We'll be moving to the main feature table after our players have spent an hour running around Vegas looking for shwarma and hummus by the sound of it.
First hand back, and we've already had some serious action.
It started off slow with an assortment of limps to the flop. It checked around to Danny Smith who bet 125,000. Ran Azor, who had been one of the checkers, was the sole caller.
They went heads up to a turn and this time Azor bet out 120,000. Smith paused briefly, and then raised pot - it looked like 560,000 with 20,000 behind - either way, enough to cover Azor. Azor considered it for a while, but eventually folded.
Azor is now one of our shorter stacks on 315,000. Smith moved into the lead on around a million.
Scott Mandel limped under the gun, and Danny Smith, Robert Mizrachi, and both blinds all came along for the minimum. The flop came , and Ted Martin and Kevin Boudreau checked their blinds. Mandel bet 100,000, and only Mizrachi called to see the turn pair the board. Manel checked, and Mizrachi checked behind. The river was the , and Mandel checked again. His attempt at a trap failed, however, and Mizrachi checked again. Mandel tabled for top boat and took the pot, though it was smaller than he would have liked.
Ran Azor lost a smallish pot to Chance Kornuth, so he was down to 250,000 when he got involved in a blind-on-blind confrontation with Scott Mandel.
They were at the turn of the board when Mandel checked. Azor bet pot (98,000) and Mandel check-raised pot to put him in. Azor called all in, and they were on their backs.
Azor: for a pair of kings and a flush draw
Mandel: for aces
River:
With that, we have reached our official final table.
Michael Mizrachi raised to 69,000 in the hijack - the second hand in a row he'd raised. (The first hand, Eric Liu called in the big blind but they checked it down and Mizrachi won it with kings.) This time Ted Martin called in the big blind.
Martin checked the flop and Mizrachi bet 100,000. Martin dwelled up for a long time, squinting at the board, and then called.
Both players checked the turn, and they saw a river. This time Martin bet out 100,000. Mizrachi thought about it for some time before calling - and then mucked to Martin's flush.
