Hand #22 - John Juanda

John Juanda has the button in Seat 4. Vladimir Schmelev opens for 110,000 from the cutoff and John Juanda tanks for a moment before three-betting to 325,000. Schmelev folds and Juanda wins the pot.

Hand #23 - Michael Mizrachi

The button is with Daniel Alaei in Seat 5. Play folds around the table to Michael Mizrachi who completes from the small blind. David Oppenheim checks his option in the big blind.

The flop arrives {7-Spades}{9-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and Mizrachi leads out for 55,000 to take it down.

Another chant breaks out and some fans are even on their feet. We fear what might happen if Grinder wins a pot worth more than just the blinds and antes!

GRIND-AH

C'mon, mom...
C'mon, mom...

"Grind-ah! Grind-ah!" chanted Michael Mizrachi's mom, along with his wife Lily Elviro as he took down that last pot. As expected, the Mizrachis have been quite a vocal cheering squad and break into wild screams and cheers whenever one of the brothers earns some chips.

After that last display of...enthusiasm, however, Grinder gave a bit of an eye-roll in their general direction, much like high school athlete might to his overzealous parents in the stands.

Hand #25 - David Oppenheim

The button is with David Oppenheim in Seat 7. Daniel Alaei comes in raising for 125,000 before Oppenheim announces a raise. He tosses out calling chips before adding an additional 310,000 to the bet. The blinds fold as does Alaei and Oppenheim takes it down.

Hand #27 - Vladimir Schmelev

The button is with David Baker in Seat 1. Robert Mizrachi raises to 105,000 from the cutoff. The button and small blind fold, but Vladimir Schmelev decides to defend his big blind on this occasion with a re-raise to a total of 390,000. Mizrachi thinks for a moment but decides to find a better spot as that pot is shipped to Russia.

Hand #30 - Daniel Alaei

John Juanda has the button in Seat 4. The action folds around to Daniel Alaei who completes the small blind and Michael Mizrachi checks his option. The flop is {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. Alaei leads out for 50,000 and Mizrachi folds.
