Stud Hi-Lo

Ivo Donev and Michael Mizrachi both held three-spade boards on fifth street where Mizrachi bet and Donev called. Mizrachi fired again on sixth but Donev folded after about 30 seconds.

Donev: {x-}{x-} / {5-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Mizrachi: {x-}{x-} / {j-Spades}{q-Spades}{6-Spades}

"Big laydown. Show me the bluff," Donev insisted.

Mizrachi turned up one of his hole cards, the {k-Spades}, with a grin on his face.

"I don't know how to bluff anymore," Mizrachi said.

Bronshtein Clips Zack

Level 7 : 400/800, 0 ante

Razz

Dan Zack and Yuval Bronshtein have already made their marks on the 2019 WSOP, both having won their first bracelets. They now play on the same table in the $1,500 8-Game which saw them tangle in a hand of razz.

There was around 8,000 in the pot when they made it to seventh street, both displaying similar boards. Zack bet, Bronshtein raised, and Zack reluctantly called to see the bad news as Bronshtein made a six.

Zack: {x-}{x-}{x-} / {k-}{3-}{a-}{2-}
Bronshtein: {4-}{a-}{6-} / {2-}{j-}{a-}{3-}

Gazlay Shoves on Hellmuth

Level 7 : 400/800, 0 ante

NLH

With the board reading {3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, Phil Hellmuth checked to his neighbor Brayden Gazlay who fired what looked like around a pot-sized bet of 5,000 from the hijack. It was enough to cover Hellmuth's remaining chips and the 15-time bracelet winner contemplated his decision. Then he opted to avoid the risk of elimination and let his hand go.
