Mizzi Busto
![[user75032]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Stud-8
A wild four-way all in at Table 369 has resulted in the eliminations of Sorel MIzzi and Larry Stjean. Mizzi was already in when we came to the table on fourth street. Lonnie Heimowitz, with open aces, bet and was called by Zachary Milchman and by Stjean, who was then all in.
Heimowitz bet fifth street and himself was all in on sixth street. That led to a crazy four-way reveal heading into seventh street:
Milchman: 
/ 
, a 6-5-4-3 low and a flush draw
Heimowitz: 
/ 
, a 6-5-4-2 low and a pair of aces
Mizzi: 
/ 
, an 8-7 low and ace-high
Stjean: 
/ 
, no low and a pair of sevens
The rivers cards came out: 
, 
, 
, 
. Heimowitz took the low half of all pots with his 6-5-4-2-A but didn't get anything from the high despite having aces up. The high half of all pots went to Milchman, who made a club flush. Mizzi and Stjean were both eliminated.
Seiver Pressures Turner
Stud-8
Jon Turner had slipped back down to just 8,500 in chips after being forced to concede a big Stud-8 pot to Scott Seiver.
Turner: (X-X) / 
Seiver: (X-X) / 
Seiver applied the pressure and Turner was forced to fold on sixth street, as Seiver raked in the pot to move up to 41,000.
Giang's Full House Not Enough
Stud
Giang: X-X / 
/ X
Fitoussi: X-X / 
/ X
Su: X-X / 
/ X
Chau Giang must have felt confident he was going to win the main pot at showdown against Bruno Fitoussi. Giang completed third street and was raised by Fitoussi, then re-raised by Stephen Su. Giang called both raises, as did Fitoussi, who was all in.
Action was on the side between Su and Giang, with Su check-calling every street all the way to showdown. He mucked in the face of Giang's , a full house of aces full of fours. For the main pot, however, the all-in Fitoussi opened two fives in the hole, having made quads.
Giang is at 53,000.
Some Things Never Change
"Did you hear that, Jack?" Sam Grizzle asked Jack Effel. "I asked for three Splendas and cream. She said, 'Coffee?' No, I just want three Splendas and cream!"
"The cantankerous Sam Grizzle, everyone!" Effel replied.
Brunson Trending Downwards
Stud
Doyle Brunson has been having a tough time of it in the early going. He's already lost three significant pots, including a recent hand of stud. Jason Potter completed on third street and was called by Clayton Mozdzen before Brunson raised. Potter and Mozdzen both called to fourth street.
Doyle fired a bet there and another on fifth street. Each time he was called by both players. On sixth street, Mozdzen grabbed the lead with open jacks. He bet it and was called only by Brunson. It was the same action on the river, where Mozdzen won the pot at showdown by showing 
for trip jacks.
"Don't do it, Doyle," said Sam Grizzle. "You know he's good."
"Yeah, I know," Brunson said with a sigh. When Mozdzen asked, Doyle said he'd made aces up.
"I had two queens," said Potter.
Grizzle replied, "If you could have got one of them to play good, Doyle, you'd have won the pot. I'm surprised he called with two queens."
"It was only because I saw him reaching," said Potter. "No joke."
Zolotow's Grumblings
Steve Zolotow spotted Jack Effel wandering the floor of the H.O.R.S.E. event and decided to chew Effel's ear off about what Zolotow felt was the poor quality of the WSOP dealers. Effel responded, essentially, that things aren't always as easy as they look.
"I had 1,012 dealers at the start of the Series," said Effel. "I'm down to 773 and losing about a dozen a day."
"Well, next year I'm putting in a bill for dealer training," Zolotow replied.
"If you think it's easy, next year you can come down here and talk to them yourself."
"Nothing's easy," Zolotow conceded.
Turner Makes The Nuts
Razz
Jon Turner completed the action and Charles Babb made the call. Babb led the betting on fourth and fifth streets, before check-calling on sixth and seventh.
Turner: (
) / 
Babb: (X-X-X) / 
Turner showed the nuts to collect the pot and move up to 28,500.
Lederer Not in a Bad Mood Yet
Razz
Lederer: X-X / 7-K-A-2
Ashton: X-X / 5-J-10-A
One of the more interesting tables in the room is Red 367. That's where chip leader (and NBC Heads-Up Championship MOC) Jordan Siegel, John Juanda, Howard Lederer and Andre Akkari (decked out in a Brazilian football jersey) are all seated.
Lederer once famously said that it takes a lot to put him in a bad mood, but razz can do it. So far Lederer's mood is good. He took on Matthew Ashton in a recent razz hand. Lederer completed third street and was raised by Ashton. The two were heads-up to fourth street, where both caught bricks. Ashton's bet was called by Lederer.
Lederer caught good on fifth street and bet out of turn. The dealer pointed out it was Ashton's action.
"He's checking," said Lederer. Then, by way of explanation for his out-of-turn bet: "It's a cash game thing. No one even bothers with that."
Ashton check-called on fifth, then check-folded on sixth street.
Fellows Wheels In Early Pot
Razz
The defending champ Zac Fellows is off to a bright start today in defense of his title.
Catching the action on fifth street, Larry Stjean led the betting with Fellows making the call, and then again on sixth.
On seventh, the dealer obviously hadn't quite warmed up as yet as he tossed both players their river card face up. The floor was called and were told to play it out. Stjean checked, Fellows bet and Stjean made the call.
Fellows: () / /
Stjean: (X-X) / 
/ 
The wheel for Fellows saw him rake in the pot and jump up to 25,000 chips.
