The turn came the 
, and Mizrachi called a full bet from Idema, bringing them to the 
river. Idema fired again, and The Grinder double-checked his cards before sending them into the muck with a shake of the head.

Michael Mizrachi Eliminated in 8th Place ($49,732)

The flop came out 
, and Morris check-folded to a Parker bet, but Groysman came right along with the call.
That put them heads up to the turn , and Parker fired out another bet. Groysman stared at the ceiling for about 15 seconds before raising to two bets, and a sour look crossed Parker's face. He took about a minute of deliberation before deciding to put in the extra bet for the call.
The river came the 
, and this time Parker checked and quickly folded to one last bet from Groysman.
Parker is down under 400,000 now, while Groysman moves just over that mark.
Dinner Time!
That's the end of the level, and that's going to cue our dinner break. The players have agreed to extend their chow time to 75 minutes, so we'll be back at 9:00 p.m. to play this thing out.

After-Dinner Poker
The players are back in their chairs -- well, all except Brock Parker, and the cards are back in the air.
Here's Parker now, and he's just in time to fold. "Nine o'clock, right?" he says, looking at his imaginary wristwatch.
"Yeah, and it's 9:02," the T.D. says back.
In any event, we've got everyone now, and we're off to the bracelet.

Parker Hungry For Chips
Brock Parker raised to open the pot, and Kyle Ray defended his big blind.
Heads up, they took a flop of 
, and Ray check-raised Parker's continuation bet.
The turn came the 
, Ray bet, and Parker raised it right back. Ray smooth-called the extra bet, and the 
saw him check-call one final bet from Parker.
Parker tabled 
, and Ray sat still for fifteen or twenty seconds, studying the cards in front of him. Finally, he shook his head and threw his cards into the muck. That moves Parker up over the 700,000-chip mark, knocking Ray down to about that same level.
Any pot played to the river nowadays is going to represent a significant chunk of a player's stack.
