Mizrachi Keeps Firing

Level 6

No-Limit Hold'em

Michael Mizrachi opened to 300 from under the gun and found a call from Todd Brunson in the big blind. The flop fell {8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Brunson checked. Mizrachi put out a continuation of 500 and Brunson tossed out a call. The {4-Diamonds} hit the felt on the turn and Brunson checked for a second time. Mizrachi flung 1,500 forward and Brunson let go of his cards. Mizrachi was pushed the pot and now has about 14,500 in chips. Brunson, on the other hand, has dropped to around 4,200.

Friedman Over Hang

Level 6

Pot-Limit Omaha 8

With the board reading {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs}, Tommy Hang led out for 600. One player folded, putting action on Adam Friedman. Friedman called to see the {Q-Diamonds} drop down on fourth street. Hang slowed with a check and Friedman knuckled the table back, allowing the {3} to complete the board.

Hang fired out a river bet of 1,500 and after some time in the tank, Friedman put out a call. Friedman showed {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} which was good enough to take down the pot. He tabled the rest of his hand - {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, and was pushed the pot. He's now sitting on about 8,500 in chips.

Cantu/Martin Controvery Update

Level 6

Earlier we posted about an altercation that occurred between Brandon Cantu and Jesse Martin that arose from a specific hand between Cantu and Matt Szymaszek.

According to WSOP staff, after the dust settled, Cantu was asked to leave that area and missed what was equivalent to roughly three orbits of play. Security reviewed the footage and saw that Cantu did indeed push Martin after being verbally provoked, but no punches were thrown. Both players were issued a warning with the threat of disqualification from the tournament should any further issues arise.

Fricke Mashing

Level 5

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

A player opened the hijack to 250 and Jimmy Fricke flatted from the button. The blinds folded and both Fricke and his opponent drew one card.

Action checked over to Fricke during the final betting round and he dropped forward 800. His opponent instantly called, prompting Fricke to fan {9-}{7-}{4-}{3-}{2-} for a ninety-seven perfect. Fricke was awarded the pot and now sits around 21,000 in chips.

Harman KO's One

Level 5

Pot-Limit Omaha 8

We arrived at the table to see Jen Harman and an opponent take a {6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop. Harman's opponent checked and the two-time WSOP bracelet winner fired out a bet of 1,000. Her opponent moved all in for a few hundred more and the hands were turned over.

Harman: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}{9-Spades}

The board completed with the {5-Spades} on the turn and the {A-Diamonds} on the river, giving Harman aces full of sixes and a low for the scoop. She eliminated in her opponent and her stack now sits at 9,500.
