Michael Mizrachi Eliminated

Michael Mizrachi opened to 13,500 from the cutoff and George Clyde-Smith three-bet from the big blind. Mizrachi four-bet all in for about 105,000 and Clyde-Smith called immediately.

Mizrachi: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Clyde-Smith: {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

Mizrachi found no help from the {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop and was drawing dead once the {Q-Clubs} hit the turn, ending his Main Event.

St-Out

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Matt Stout got the last of his chips all in on a board that read {5-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. Stout held {A-Hearts}{k-Hearts} for top-top but was ultimately behind Maxim Panyak's flopped set with {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

The river was the {8-Spades} and Stout hit the rail. Panyak is now sporting a stack of 930,000.

Lind Hits The Rail

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The board read {8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{A-Clubs} and George Lind was all in and at risk against Marcello Miniucchi. Lind held {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and was drawing super live against the flopped set of Miniucchi's {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

The river, however, was not kind to Lind as it brought the {7-Spades}. Miniucchi's set was the best hand and Lind was forced to see an exit here on Day 3.

No Lauck

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

When we came upon the table we found Jonas Lauck all in before the flop. Michael Malm tossed out a call and found out that he was a favorite to eliminate Lauck.

Lauck: {K-Spades}{6-Spades}
Malm: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The board fell {7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and Lauck was unable to improve. He was sent packing while Malm stacked up his newly attained chips. Malm is now sitting on about 390,000.

Que Serock Serock

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Whatever will be, will be. We recently reported that Joe Serock was the new chip lead but he has now relinquished that title after a bout with Darren Elias. We caught up to the action to see Serock and Elias engaged the final hand before their table broke. The board read {6-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Elias pushed out 122,000 which was roughly a pot sized bet.

Serock sat contemplating his action in this massive pot for well over a minute. Eventually he dropped in calling chips and Elias tabled {3-Hearts}{3-Spades} for a rivered set. Serock flung his cards into the muck one at a time and was forced to ship a solid portion of chips over to Elias' stack.

Elias is now sitting on about 775,000 while Serock has fallen to around 1.045 million.

There’s A New Griffin In Town

Ashton Griffin finished Day 1b as the chip leader and established himself as a force in this tournament… that is until he was eliminated earlier today. Now there’s a new Griffin in town –Griffin “Flush_Entity” Benger, who just doubled through Nicolas Godoy.

We didn’t catch the hand, but Benger filled us in on the details. According to him, Godoy opened for 11,500 from the hijack and he three-bet to 26,000 from the button with {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. The blinds got out of the way, Godoy four-bet to 52,000, and Benger five-bet to 98,000. Godoy then moved all in and Benger snap-called off for 290,000. Godoy tabled {6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, but he was left drawing dead after the flop fell {2-}{2-}{J-}. Griffin flopped a boat and doubled to nearly 600,000.

Klodnicki Doubles Through Mizrachi

Picking up the action on an {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{10-Hearts} board, Chris Klodnicki check-called a bet from Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi to see the {2-Diamonds} river where Klodnicki checked again. Mizrachi went all in for 75,500 effective, sending Klodnicki into the tank.

After about 45 seconds, Klodnicki called and Mizrachi acknowledged his call was good. Klodnicki tabled {A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for a pair of aces, while Mizrachi had to show his {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for the cameras.

Matador Doubles

Patrick Devlin raised to 17,000 from the small blind, Carlos Mortensen moved all in for 164,000 from the big blind. Devlin called.

Devlin: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Mortensen: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The {k-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds} board missed Mortensen, but the {q-Diamonds} spiked on the turn, giving him a leading pair of queens. The {7-Spades} bricked on the river, and Mortensen doubled to over 330,000 chips.

Devlin dropped down to around 110,000.

Here Comes Loeser

We just saw Manig Loeser eliminated two players within minutes to shoot up to 655,000 in chips.

In the first, Loeser held {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and was behind the {A-Spades}{8-Spades} of the at-risk Antonio Lafosse. The {10-Clubs}{K-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop quickly changed that as Loeser paired his ten to take the lead. The {4-Hearts} turn meant Lafosse needed an ace on the river to stay alive, but this is not Team PokerStars Pro Barry Greenstein’s book and the {9-Clubs} blanked. With that, Lafosse made his way to the payout desk.

Less than two minutes later, Jan Veit was all in preflop holding {2-Clubs}{2-Spades} and dominated by the {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} of Loeser. The board ran out {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Veit joined Lafosse on the rail while Loeser got busy stacking chips once again.
