Joseph El Khoury got involved with John Dolan in a sizable pot just a few moments ago. Khoury was left with a lot less chips and it wasn't due to a made hand from the November Niner. Dolan showed us he's got game, and undoubtably so as he waded his way through well over 7,300 players to reach the WSOP Main Event final table about a month ago. Here's how Dolan was able to chip up to roughly 127,000.
On the flop of 
there sat about 4,700 chips in the middle when Khoury checked to Dolan. He fired 2,500 and was met with a check-raise to 5,875 from Khoury. Dolan didn't back off and after thinking for a bit, fired back with a reraise to 17,600. After a minute of thought, Khoury made the call.
The turn brought the 
and the pot stayed the same size with both players checking to see the 
fall on the river. After Khoury checked, Dolan fired a pot-sized bet of 36,000. The bet was for most of Khoury's chips, who tanked for a few minutes. He would eventually lay his hand down to which Dolan tossed over the 
.

and his opponent mucked.
Eric Mizrachi is up to about 57,000.

Ran Azor raised to 1,800 from early-middle position to kick things off. Mustafa Meryumoglu called from the hijack and Alexey Rybin called from the button. Carter Phillips moved all in from the big blind for 12,375. Azor tanked, but got out of the wall before Meryumoglu and Rybin quickly made the call.
The flop, turn and river were checked by Meryumoglu and Rybin. When it came time for a showdown, Meryumoglu tabled the , having paired his king, and Rybin mucked. Phillips looked back at his hand quickly and then mucked as well. He was eliminated on the hand after not being able to get much going after he doubled up on the first hand.

Just before the break, Nicolas Chouity dropped to about 75,000 after starting the day with 119,600 and the chip lead.
On a 
flop, Chouity's bet 1,800 was called by his opponent. The 
turn card brought another bet from Chouity. This time it was 3,500 and his opponent called again. The 
fell on the river and Chouity fired a third bullet for 6,000. His opponent called and Chouity sheepishly turned over just the 
for king high.
His opponent tabled for ace high, sending a peeved Chouity into the break with over 40,000 less than what he started the day with.
