Sorel Mizzi (X) (X)
(X)Chino Rheem (X) (X)
(X)Chino Rheem completed on third street and Sorel Mizzi called. Rheem led out on fourth and fifth streets, Mizzi calling him down. Mizzi hit an ace and made the high board on sixth, betting out and getting a call from Rheem. Mizzi bet again on seventh and Rheem called.

Four More Hands
Rock Out with Your Brock Out
Negreanu=120K
In a pot that was three-bet pre, the action was checked to Daniel Negreanu on the
flop. Negreanu bet and both opponents called. The turn was the 
. It was checked to Negreanu again and this time both opponents folded to his bet. Negreanu showed 
for top pair and the nut flush draw. Two fans were standing on the rail watching Negreanu in the hand and after he stacked up the pot, he asked them if they wanted a picture.
"Really? That would be great," said the couple.
Negreanu playfully grabbed their camera and snapped a photo of them, before posing for a picture.
Negreanu is currently up to 120,000 and is, by our estimates the chip leader.
Berry Unhappy
Berry Johnston raised preflop to 2,400 and was called in late position.
The flop was
and Johnston's last few chips went in holding but his opponent flipped 
and Johnston needed running clubs or aces to win, the turn 
gave him a shot but the river was the and the former WSOP champion was eliminated.
Dragon Vs The Chainsaw
No, it's not the title of the latest Bruce Campbell movie, but a hand between David Pham, Hasan Habib and Allen Kessler.
Pham:
Kessler:
Habib:
Pham raised on third with the other two calling before Habib led out on fourth, called in both spots once more. On fifth it was checked to Kessler who bet and again two more callers.
On sixth street, Pham checked his ace, Kessler bet and Habib folded with Pham calling.
Seventh went check check and Kessler showed
for a pair of eights with an 8-5-4-3-A low. Pham had him pipped though, he flipped 
for aces with an 8-4-3-2-A low to scoop.
Even the Best Get Confused
Showing 2-5-6 as his upcards in a stud hand, Josh Arieh's eyes nearly bugged out of his head when the dealer moved his arm to push him the pot, giving him a better look at the game placard.
"That hand was STUD?" exclaimed a bewildered Arieh. "I thought it was Stud 8!"
"We thought that you thought it was Razz" said one of his table mates.
Arieh couldn't believe his good fortune as he stacked his chips.
Mike Mouths Off!
Matusow:
Dragon:
Matusow was fairly cross at all this since both a nine and a king had been folded on third by other players but somehow Matusow was one-outed on seventh.
