Ace High Good for Mizrachi

Robert Mizrachi raised to 13,500 from middle position and Brock Parker called in the big blind. The flop came down {8-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {3-Spades} and Parker checked. Mizrachi fired 18,000 and Parker flat-called.

The turn brought the {7-Clubs} and a check from each player.

The river was the {3-Diamonds} and Parker fired 20,000. MIzrachi quickly called. "Just jach high." said Parker, flipping over {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts} for a busted flush draw. MIzrachi tabled {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds} for ace high and scooped the pot.

Mizrachi is back to 950,000 chips while Parker slipped a little to 410,000.

John Clancy is on a massive heater, having skyrocketed from 80,000 to over 400,000 in a matter of minutes with the recent elimination of 18th place finisher John Venturini.

All of the money found its way into the middle before the flop; Clancy's with two kings and Venturini's with {A-?} {Q-?}. The board ran out nine-high and Clancy took down the pot, improving his stack size to right around 420,000.

Santos Doubles Through Greenwood

We got to the table as soon as we heard Jose Roberto Santos yell out to his railbirds that he was all in in Spanish. Santos had all of his chips in the middle with an open-ended straight draw holding {Q-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} on a flop of {K-Spades} {10-Hearts} {6-Spades}. Max Greenwood held {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}.

The dealer wasted no time in dealing the {9-Spades} on the turn and giving Santos his straight. He sprung up and down, high fiving his railbirds and screaming in excitement. The river completed the board with the {Q-Spades}, but didn't change anything.

Greenwood asked if there would be an excessive celebration penalty, but Matt Savage just shook his head. He then told the table that he's the last one left out of the 100 Spanish-speaking players in the field. Santos is up to 280,000 now while Greenwood dropped to 680,000.
