There is no stopping Jonathan Aguiar right now, not even Michael Mizrachi.
The latter called the formers raise whilst in the big blind and then check-called two streets before check-raising all in on the river. The final board read and Aguiar called all-in for 89,900 on the river.

As another table has just broken, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi has been moved to the table that is currently sporting the biggest stacks in the room. Mizrachi has joined Jennifer Tilly, Jonathan Aguiar, Brandon Cantu, and Chance Kornuth and we're sure some excitement will be brewing at this table soon.
We just witnessed Jonathan Aguiar deliver another knockout blow to a player. Brian Park moved all in before the flop only to have Aguiar move all in over the top. The rest of the table folded and the hands were exposed:
Aguiar:
Park:
The board came down and Park was unable to improve, securing him a spot among those eliminated from this tournament. Aguiar is now sitting at roughly 112,000 in chips.
