Mizzi Scoops to Bust Force

stoffmakers

We caught up with the action on a {9-Spades} {4-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {8-Hearts} board where Leif Force moved all in for 24,000 total and Sorel Mizzi said, “I don’t see how I can fold” before he put in the chips for the call. Mizzi turned over {K-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} for trips but we didn’t catch Force’s hand. The river was the {Q-Hearts} which gave Mizzi a full house and Force was eliminated.

Player of the Year Race

[user66118]

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

The race for the Player of the Year is only intensifying as the $50,000 Players' Championship final table gets settled in for the long haul. With his eighth-place exit, Ben Lamb added another 86.40 points to his tally, pushing his cumulative total out to 659.05 points. Even Mr. Phil Hellmuth found the heart to commend Lamb on his abilities as he exited today. Mind games, maybe? Hellmuth is the one chasing Lamb right now, and he's got a good chance at running him down. The Brat has already locked up another 136.80 points to bring his own total up to 595.05 and counting -- closing in on Lamb. Check out how the points will be divvied up for the remaining five players:

Place	Points
1st	360
2nd	252
3rd	180
4th	158.4
5th	136.8

Hellmuth can take the overall lead, but he'll need to run this chip stack all the way to heads-up play to do so. A win would make him nearly untouchable atop the rankings.

Owais Ahmed and Brian Rast can also close in on Lamb with a win today, but neither can catch fully up to him in this event.

Trickett Hits the Rail

[user75311]

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Erik Seidel raised to 4,000 preflop and Sam Trickett called in position, as did Eric Crain in the big blind.

The flop came {a-Spades} {q-Clubs} {9-Hearts} and Crain checked. Seidel bet 9,000 and Trickett moved all in for 24,500. Crain quickly mucked and Seidel made the call to put Trickett at risk.

Seidel: {a-Hearts} {q-Hearts} {q-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}
Trickett: {a-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {2-Spades}

The turn was the {4-Clubs} and the river was the {j-Clubs} . Just like that Trickett's day is done and Seidel moves up to 100,000 chips.
