Jett Brings Grinder Down To Earth
We promise that Michael Mizrachi isn't the only person in the tournament. He just so happens to be the one providing all of the entertainment so far. We saw Karina Jett commit the rest of her 3,100 chip stack in preflop, and Mizrachi looked at his cards and immediately slammed a stack of blue T500 chips in for the call. Mizrachi called for Jett's rebuy before the hands were revealed, but he saw that he was in bad shape.
Jett: 
Mizrachi: 
The flop didn't pair either but brought some action, coming 
. Jett picked up a flush draw, but Mizrachi also picked up some chop outs. However, the 
on the turn sealed the hand for Jett, who made the ace high flush. The meaningless river was the 
, and Jett bumped her stack back up to 6,400.

Newhouse Races Back to Starting Stack
We walked up to the table to see that Mark Newhouse had reraised all in for 2,400 facing a 300 chip raise. It folded back to his opponent, and thanks to some words of encouragement from her table mate Mike Matusow, she made the call. The cards were flipped, and we were off to the races.
Newhouse: 
Opponent: 
The flop came down 
, giving Newhouse extra outs as he picked up an open ended straight draw. The 
on the turn brought him no help, but the river, the 
, gave Newhouse the nut straight. After that hand, Newhouse is back up to 4,800 from his original 5,000 starting stack.

Lieu Takes Her Leave
Liz Lieu was already all in when we got to the table, with the board reading 
. Two other players were heads up, but one of them folded to the other players bet. The remaining player tabled 
for top pair, and Lieu cheered, "I have an out", showing 
. Indeed, any club would give her the nut flush, but it wasn't meant to be, as the river brought the 
.
Lieu has yet to leave her table, but she hasn't shown any indication that she intends to rebuy. For now, it looks like she is eliminated from the tournament.

Ray Rebuys
We got to the table to see that local cash game pro Ray Henson was all in on a 
. He just got one call, and when the cards were flipped, Henson saw that he was far behind.
Henson: 
Opponent: 
The turn paired the board, the 
, and took some of Henson's outs in the process. Henson could only catch a seven to win the hand, but it wasn't meant to be, as the river brought the 
. Henson joked that he had made a straight, but quickly gave up with a smile, and reach into his wallet for a rebuy.
