Michael Mizrachi opened for a raise and Darren Woods called from the big blind. Woods check-called bets from Mizrachi on every street as the board ran out .
Mizrachi showed for top pair and raked in the pot. He's up to 415,000. Woods is still the chip leader with 500,000.
Todd Barlow was down to just one lonely orange T1,000 chip after calling a raise and folding one hand ago. That last chip went into this most recent pot with Barlow, and he wouldn't get it back. Barlow lost his final hand, and he has been knocked off shy of a payday.
We joined the action on a flop just as David Chiu was check-raising Toto Leonidas, and both players put in two bets going to the turn. Chiu bet out, and this time Leonidas stuck in the raise. Chiu promptly three-bet it, and Leonidas flat-called the extra full bet.
That brought them to the river, and Chiu fired a bet in the dark. Leonidas had just 7,000 chips left, and he elected to fold away his cards and save that bet for a better spot.
Leonidas found his spot to get those 7,000 chips into the pot one hand later, but he was unable to survive his all in, ending his day just a few spots shy of the money.
Christoph Kwon raised preflop, and he found a call from Steve Sung.
Heads up, the flop came out , and Sung led out wiht a bet. Kwon raised, and Sung called to see the on the turn. This time it was Sung doing the raising when Kwon bet, and Kwon made the call all in for his tournament life. Sung had just 9,000 chips left behind, so this pot was essentially a double up for either of them. Cards up, gents:
Kwon:
Sung:
Sung was already drawing dead with just his naked top pair, and the meaningless filled out the board. That moves Kwon up to 110,000, leaving Sung with just those few tiny chips to try and mount a comeback.
But alas, he was eliminated on the very next hand.
Matt Keikoan, Vladimir Schmelev and Greg DeBora each put in four bets before the flop. DeBora led out, Schmelev called all-in for his last 3,000, and Keikoan called. The turn was the and DeBora fired out again. Keikoan raised and DeBora called. The river was the and DeBora check-called a bet from Keikoan.
Keikoan turned over and DeBora mucked. Keikoan took the side pot, then won the main as Schmelev showed his and hit the rail.
Keikoan is up to 210,000 while DeBora is on 170,000.
