Griffin Benger vs. Michael Mizrachi

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Griffin Benger raised to 2,600 from the cutoff, Ricardo Alvarado called on the button, and Michael Mizrachi called from the big blind.

The flop came down {K-}{2-}{2-} and Mizrachi led for 2,600. Only Benger called, a {J-} fell on the turn and Mizrachi bet 6,400. Benger called, landing a {3-} on the river. Mizrachi check-called 10,400 from Benger and mucked when Benger tabled {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} for kings and deuces.

Benger is up to 120,000 while Mizrachi is down to about 32,000.

One for Brikis

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The action in this short-handed tournament may have slowed down a bit, but Josh Brikis just managed to chip up nicely in a hand against Kevin Saul.

We caught the action on the turn when the board read {9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Saul bet 3,700, Amanda Muscumeci folded, and Brikis called from the button. On the river the {5-Spades} hit and Saul checked to Brikis who fired out 7,000 shortly afterwards. Saul tanked, called, then mucked when his opponent showed {K-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Kaverman Gets a Double

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Dani Stern just raised and Byron Kaverman was his only caller from the big blind.

The flop rolled out {2-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Kaverman check-called another 3,000 chips. On the turn the {10-Diamonds} hit and Kaverman checked again. Stern bet 7,000 and Kaverman put in the call.

The river completed the board with the {10-Clubs} and Kaverman checked a third time. Stern threw out another 16,000 chips and Kaverman tanked for quite a while before he decided to move all in for 32,500 total.

Stern did some tanking of his own before ultimately making the call and Kaverman swiftly tabled {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a full house. Stern mucked and Kaverman took this one down.

Pantaleo Runs into Tran's Straight

We caught the action on the turn, with the board showing {9-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{K-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. A player led out for 3,600 and was raised by JC Tran to 8,800. Giuseppe Pantaleo was next to act and he moved all in for right around 24,000 chips. The initial bettor folded and Tran called immediately.

Tran: {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Pantaleo: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}

The river didn't help the German pro who was knocked out by one of last year's November Niners.
