Sorel Mizzi opened to 5,500 from early position, and Duane Goodison called on the button.
Heads up, the two of them took a flop, and Mizzi knocked the table. Goodison took his cue to make a healthy bet of 15,500 at the pot, and Mizzi spent some quality time in the think tank. He eventually shoved all in for about 60,000, and Goodison quickly called to put him in danger.
Showdown
Mizzi:
Goodison:
Mizzi's overpair was not 'over' enough, and the turn and river failed to improve his plight. He's out in 26th place, moving Goodison up close to 150,000.
Well, he only had 2,800 chips to start the day, and Lee Childs was forced to fold his first three hands. On the fourth, Childs called all in, and Chris Bell and Micah Raskin got to see a cheap flop for a chance at the knockout.
The board ran out with Bell and Raskin checking through the turn. On the river, a 2,000-chip bet from Raskin folded Bell, and Childs said, "Say no pair, please?"
It wasn't no pair. Raskin had two of them, in fact, turning over his . Childs opened up his , unable to connect with the board, and he has become the first casualty of the day.
On the first hand of the day, Todd Terry opened to 5,100, and Sorel Mizzi moved all in for 53,100 from the cutoff seat. Terry folded, and Mizzi showed up as he took down the smaller-than-he'd-like pot.
We're down to 27 players from our starting field of 136 here at the World Series of Poker Circuit Northeast Regional Championship. We're slated for a noon restart with the goal of playing down to a final table of nine before day's end.
North Carolina's Chris Bell is leading the way with his stack of 434,500 chips, but his lead is by no means safe. Seth Fischer is just under 400,000, and Eugene Katchalov and Frank Calo are in third and fourth places respectively. Also still in contention is Matthew Waxman from Florida. He's best known for what he did just a couple days ago, winning the 352-player Main Event here at Harrah's Atlantic City.
Chris Klodnicki, Christian Harder, Brett Richey, Victor Ramdin, Todd Terry, Beth Shak, Jonathan Little, Andy Frankenberger, Dan Kelly, Sorel Mizzi -- everyone's still in with a shot at tomorrow's final table. So is Lee Childs, although he'll have some work to do. Childs comes into the day with 2,800 chips to his credit, just more than one big blind.
The players are starting to trickle into the room as we speak, ready to take their seats behind their chip bags. The noon start is approaching fast, and we'll be back with the shuffle up and deal shortly.
