No Real Action

We've been heads up for about 10 minutes now and there haven't been any fireworks yet. In fact, most hands consist of little more than stealing each others' blinds. I believe we've seen the turn once.

It's also an incredibly quiet final table. Neither Mizrachi or Bonomo have uttered a word since they started heads-up play.

We're Back

The two heads-up players, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi and Justin Bonomo, are back to the table and now engaging in heads-up warfare. The almost $240,000 in prize money, the gold championship ring, and the WSOP Main Event seat are still up for grabs!

Who's going to be our next WSOP Circuit champion??

Men "The Master" Nguyen Eliminated in 3rd Place ($91,937)

From the small blind, Justin Bonomo raised to 70,000 and then Men "The Master" Nguyen reraised to 270,000. Bonomo moved all in and Nguyen called. This would be the third hand in a row we'd have an elimination if The Master can't win this hand.

Showdown:
Bonomo: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}
Nguyen: {A-Hearts} {6-Hearts}

The flop came down {J-Clubs} {J-Spades} {J-Hearts}. The turn came the {4-Spades} and the river the {7-Diamonds}. Just like that, three hands in a row and three eliminations. Men "The Master would take home over $91,000 for his efforts.

The final two players, Justin Bonomo and Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi are taking a short break before heads-up play.

They're falling fast. Just one hand after Matt Graham left the table, Jeremiah DeGreef got all of his chips in preflop with {K-Spades} {J-Diamonds} against Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi's {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}.

Neither player improved on a board of {5-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}, and DeGreef left the table in fourth. He earned more than $70,000 for his play.

Matt Graham Eliminated in 5th Place ($56,059)

Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi raised from under the gun to 55,000. Matt Graham moved all in from the cutoff seat and then Mizrachi quickly called.

Showdown:
Mizrachi: {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}
Graham: {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {4-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {6-Spades} and that would be it for Graham on the first hand back from the break. He took home slightly over $56,000 for his efforts.
