Mizrachi v. Giannetti Update
Kenny Tran Mounts Come-from-behind Win
Lindgren had Tran all in for his tournament life on a
board drawing to an open-ended straight, which he hit on the turn, leaving Lindgren with just 16,000 in chips.The hand that did E-Dog in saw him shove preflop holding
and get action from Tran, who brought 
to the showdown.A
flop gave Tran way the best hand, though the 
that came on the turn offered Lindgren a few outs. Today would not be his day, however, as the 
popped off on the river, cementing the match for Tran.Despite the loss, Lindgren's money finish here today puts him further ahead in the WSOP Player of the Year points race.

'Deuces' Cracking the Competition
Vanessa has collaborated with friends and fellow pros Jonas Entin, Emil Patel, Jason Rosenkrantz, Brian Roberts and John Snipes (amongst others) to form the online poker coaching site DeucesCracked.com.
Why is this relevant, you ask? All six of the aforementioned pros affiliated with the site entered the $10,000 Heads Up Championships and five of them skated through to the round of 32! The only one who didn't make the cut was John Snipes and he was eliminated by Selbst herself in the opening round of the tournament.
More impressive still is the fact that the round of 32 is just a couple of pages away from being in the books and three members of the DeucesCracked posse (Selbst, Entin and Patel) have already clinched their spots in the sweet sixteen! Suffice it to say 50% ain't bad.
Selbst explained that the site mostly caters to cash game players, though she did admit that her crew plays 'a ton of heads up.' Needless to say, it shows.
