Good To Be The Grinder

Rich Belsky said earlier today he didn't want to be seated anywhere near Michael Mizrachi on Day 1. Now we know why.

Belsky told us that he called Mizrachi's 3,000 chip raise preflop and the two saw a ten-high flop with two hearts. The action went quickly from there. Belsky ended up all in for around 40,000 total with {A-}{10-} for top pair, and Mizrachi had a flush draw with a gutshot straight draw. A heart on the turn sent a dagger through Belsky's tournament life, putting an end to his rollercoaster day.

Mizrachi, meanwhile, is above 300,000. Food for thought: The average stack at the six-handed final table on Sunday will be just over 900,000.
