Hand #38 -

John Juanda has the button in Seat 4. David Baker opens for 140,000, Mikael Thuritz tosses in his last 55,000, and Michael Mizrachi calls from the big blind.

The flop is {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}. Mizrachi checks to Baker, who bets 180,000. Mizrachi raises to 400,000 and Baker folds.

Mizrachi {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}
Thuritz {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

Mizrachi couldn't have asked for a better flop, making sixes full. The turn is the {8-Spades}, the river is the {A-Diamonds} and Thuritz is the first player eliminated from this final table. For his eighth place finish, he'll take home $182,463.
