Mizrachi Ships the River

Level 5 : 200/500, 500 ante

Morten Mortensen opened to 1,200 in middle position and Robert Mizrachi three-bet to 3,000 in the cutoff. The action was back on Mortensen who called to see a flop of {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}. Mortensen checked and Mizrachi quickly bet 3,100 which Mortensen called.

The turn was the {j-Hearts} and Mortensen check-called another bet of 5,500 from Mizrachi. The {9-Diamonds} completed the board and Mortensen checked for the third time. Mizrachi pushed all in, putting Mortensen to the test for his last 40,000 chips. Mortensen thought for a moment but decided to let his hand go.

Sergeev Eliminated; Konovalov Avoids Disaster

Level 5 : 200/500, 500 ante

Luis Rodriguez Cruz opened and Sergey Konovalov three-bet to 2,500. Sergey Sergeev four-bet all in for 6,000 and Cruz then five-bet to 15,000. Konovalov flat-called and the flop was {9-Spades}{a-Spades}{4-Clubs}

Cruz continued for 8,000 and Konovalov called.

The pair checked the {3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} runout and all the cards were turned over.

Cruz showed {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and Konovalov appeared relieved as to have lost the minimum with {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}. Meanwhile Sergeev, who had gotten to his feet, packed up his things and already paid for his massage, showed {8-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for ten-high and was eliminated.

Loosli Goes Runner-Runner

Level 5 : 200/500, 500 ante

Sylvain Loosli was heads-up in a pot with the board reading {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and around 9,000 in the middle. Loosli checked to his opponent who bet 6,000 and Loosli just called.

The {10-Diamonds} on the river double-paired the board and Loosli checked again. His opponent reluctantly checked it back and Loosli showed {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for a full house. His opponent revealed {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} for a flopped full house but Loosli rivered a larger one.
