Erick Lindgren Doesn't Like the River

On a board of {7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs} Erick Lindgren bet 15,000 and his opponent called. The river was the {4-Clubs} -- completing most of the draws out there. Lindgren checked and his opponent checked.

"I've got seven-ten" Lindgren said as he flipped over his top two pair.

His opponent tabled {J-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for the rivered flush and dragged the pot.

Joe Hachem Eliminated

Joe Hachem and his opponent got all their chips in the pot on a {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop. Hachem showed {6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for middle pair and a flush draw while his opponent tabled {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} for a set of nines. The turn was the {7-Clubs}, giving Hachem a wrap draw to go with his flush draw, but the river was the {K-Spades} and Hachem was sent to the rail.

Michael Mizrachi Eliminated

Michael Mizrachi raised to 4,500 from UTG, an early position player re-raised to 9,500, Mizrachi moved all in, and the EP player called. Mizrachi showed {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts} while his opponent tabled {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. The Grinder kept his lead on the {K-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop, but his opponent had outs with a club flush draw and the two remaining queens. Wouldn't you know it, the {Q-Spades} fell on the turn, but Mizrachi picked up additional outs with a spade flush draw. The river was a killer -- the {A-Hearts} -- making Mizrachi a set of aces, but making his opponent a wheel and eliminating the Grinder from the tournament.

Johnny Chan Loses Half His Stack

Johnny Chan raised to 3,600 from the big blind, Eli Elezra called, and a middle position player also called. The flop was {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. Chan checked, Elezra checked, the MP player bet the pot (23,600), Chan called, and Elezra folded. The turn was the {9-Hearts}. Chan bet out enough to put the MP player all in and he called. Chan showed A-A-x-x for a pair of aces while his opponent showed 8-9-T-Q for top two pair. The turn was the {9-Hearts}, the river was the {9-Diamonds} and half of Chan's chips were shipped across the table.
