Mizrachi Pushed Off

We arrived just in time to see a {4-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop on the felt and Robert Mizrachi (button) betting 130,000. In the small blind, Danny Smith, who seemed to have checked, announced pot - which as it turned out, was greater than his remaining stack. He was all in.

Mizrachi made a face - not a happy face - and after a few moments he folded.

Smith - up to 760,000
Mizrachi - down to 855,000

Um, Break?

See, it doesn't just happen in the ladies' event. All twelve players agreed to a five minute bathroom break. Cooperation ftw!

A Note on Scheduling

There was supposed to be a 60-minute dinner break after this level, but they have decided to play down to ten players and then take dinner. If they reach ten earlier, they'll stop then. If not, they'll push dinner back. At ten, they'll redraw to the unofficial final table, move their chips to the ESPN featured stage, and then recess for an hour.

Taking His Chances

Take a Chance on me
Take a Chance on me

Eric Liu raised to 50,000 in the cutoff and Chance Kornuth reraised pot from the button. It folded back around to Liu who announced all in, Kornuth announced call, and they were on their backs.

Liu: {6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Kornuth: {3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Board: {4-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Kornuth high-fived someone at the rail as he doubled to 475,000. Liu dropped back to 800,000 or so.

Guardian Angelo

Ryan D'Angelo got his whole stack in on the turn of a {9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} board and Kevin Boudreau called.

Boudreau: {a-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a straight
D'Angelo: {7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades} for the same straight, freerolling for a full house

River: {j-Diamonds}

The board did not pair, and they chopped it up. "Unlucky," said Boudreau, which struck us as most gentlemanly.

Slight Chance Mizrachi is Tilted

In two hands, Robert Mizrachi has sent a cash infusion to Chance Kornuth, and he really doesn't look happy about it. Can't say we're surprised.

The first flop fell {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, and Mark Eddleman checked his big blind. Kornuth bet 130,000, and Mizrachi called. The turn brought the {2-Hearts}, and Kornuth moved all in for 316,000. Mizrachi agonized for a minute before finding a fold.

The very next hand, Kornuth raised and Mizrachi called. "Hold on, it may take me a minute," Kornuth said. I'm not sure how much I have yet."

The flop came {j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}, and Chance checked. Robert bet 110,000, and Kornuth quickly potted for 440,000. Mizrachi couldn't believe it was happening again. But it was, and he was forced to fold again. Mizrachi looked miserably at his stack, now down to 730,000. Chance was quite pleased to rearrange his chips in a formation more suitable for 880,000.

Ryan D'Angelo Eliminated in 12th Place ($31,448)

Ryan D'Angelo - 12th place
Ryan D'Angelo - 12th place

We found Scott Mandel betting pot from the small blind position on the turn of an {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}{j-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} board. Ryan D'Angelo (cutoff) announced all in, Mandel called, and they were on their backs.

D'Angelo: {10-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for two pair, queens and eights
Mandel: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{q-Hearts} for two pair, queens and jacks

River: {7-Spades}

The stacks were counted, and D'Angelo had change - 3,000. Not a typo. Just 3,000.

So he got it in from the hijack the next hand and Mandel raised, successfully isolating. Once again, the two of them were on their backs.

D'Angelo: {7-Clubs}{k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Mandel: {9-Hearts}{j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Board: {3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}ac]

"Good game guys," said D'Angelo, and we were down to 11.
