Mizrachi Doubles Through Ferguson

Three players limped, then Chris Ferguson raised to 3,600 from the button. Michael Mizrachi then reraised to 9,700 from the small blind. The others folded, and after Ferguson asked for a count of Mizrachi's chips, he made the call.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, and Mizrachi pushed the rest of his chips in the middle. Ferguson called.

Mizrachi: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Ferguson: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Both had heart flush draws, but Mizrachi's was the better one. The turn and river were the {Q-Spades} and {6-Spades}, and the Grinder's aces carried the day.

Mizrachi has vaulted up to about 85,000, while Ferguson has slipped to 40,000.

Hellmuth Doubles Up

Phil Hellmuth doubled up to 46,000 after his opponent set him all in and Phil made the call.

The board read:

{K-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {2-Hearts}

Phil turned over {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} {9-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} for the flopped full house, getting his opponent to muck his hand as the meaningless river card was dealt.

Just Nguyen, Baby

After a lot of betting both before and after the flop, Scotty Nyugen bet enough on the turn to put both of his shorter-stacked opponents all in.

At that point, the board showed {J-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, and all Nguyen had was {4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. However, another seven on the river allowed Nguyen to knock out both of his opponents and chip up to 64,000.
