Michael Mizrachi was down to one last card in this tournament, but he found the card he needed. After J.J. Liu opened for 2,500 and was called by a player in late position, Mizrachi moved all in for 12,500. Liu called the raise; the third player called all in for roughly the same amount, leading to a three-way showdown.

Opponent:
Liu looked good on a flop and even better on the turn. But this is a game with five community cards, not four, and it was the fifth that changed things around. The hit the river to give Mizrachi a pair of kings. He dragged the whole pot to climb to 40,000. Liu is down to 90,000, and the third player is out.

We played 10 levels of poker today in Event 52, the $3,000 Triple Chance No-Limit Hold'em event. The final tally of players was 854, with all sort of notables turning out.
By the end of the night, only roughly 153 of them had survived. Several players were fighting for the overnight chip lead, but it seemed that Tim Horan, with about 150,000 chips, may have edged out Anthony Spinella's 145,000 by eliminating a player on one of the last hands of the night. Horan's pocket kings held against the all-in player's ace-king to give Horan the boost to the top.
Still in the hunt is a name that we've heard bandied about a lot at this 2009 WSOP: Jeffrey Lisandro. Lisandro's count was about 114,000 chips. He was joined by Blake Cahail at 125,000 and several other six figure stacks.
Play resumed at 2pm tomorrow as the tournament tries to play down to the final 9. PokerNews will have all the action. See you then!
