Mizrachi Count = None

[user46392]

We are down to a total of zero Mizrachis in this tournament.

After Michael Mizrachi busted yesterday at the same time as David Benyamine in a massive four-way preflop all-in showdown (they decided their last longer was a push), his brother Robert has met a similar, if somewhat less spectacular, fate.

We just caught the tail end of the hand; Mizrachi mucked and walked away. The board read {2-Hearts} {5-Spades} {k-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {6-Hearts} and Dustin Pattinson was holding {a-Spades} {3-Spades} {8-Spades} {5-Diamonds} for two pair and the nut low. Pattinson moved up to 70,000.

Lederer's Good for Three-Fourths

[user75032]

Steve Chanthabouasy was one of the chip leaders entering the day. He hasn't made much noise yet, but he was part of a three-way pot that included Howard Lederer and a third player. Chanthabouasy opened for 3,000 before Lederer re-raised to 10,500. The third player called all in for that amount and Chanthabouasy called as well.

Lederer took down the empty side pot with an all-in bet of 23,600 on a flop of {8-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {k-Diamonds} . He turned over {a-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {k-Clubs} {9-Spades} for the nut low draw and a pair of kings. The all-in player had {a-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {j-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} and at least salvaged one-quarter when the low came in on the river.

Cernuto Scoops with Treys

[user75032]

John Cernuto and an opponent managed to get it all in on a flop of {7-Spades} {7-Clubs} {5-Hearts} . Neither player had much. Cernuto showed the second-nut low draw and two pair, sevens and fives, with {a-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {5-Clubs} . His opponent had the nut-low draw with {a-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {j-Spades} {q-Hearts} . The turn came another seven, the {7-Diamonds} , to give Cernuto a full house, sevens full of treys. That held when the river bricked everything, {9-Diamonds} .

Cernuto is up to 95,000.

Two Hands, Three Players, One Elimination

[user75032]

Barny Boatman, Hasan Habib and John Racener were involved in two recent pots, the second of which ended with Racener's elimination. In the first, Racener was the first mover on a flop of {3-Clubs} {k-Spades} {2-Hearts} , betting 3,000. Habib and Boatman both called to the {k-Hearts} turn. Racener checked there, then was forced to fold when Habib bet 7,200 and Boatman moved all in for not much more. Habib called the all in with {a-Spades} {3-Hearts} {4-Spades} {9-Spades} , a pair of treys and a wheel draw. Boatman showed trip kings, {k-Diamonds} {j-Clubs} {10-Spades} {9-Clubs} , which held with a {q-Hearts} river.

The next hand, Racener was all in for 7,200 on a flop of {a-Clubs} {j-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} with {a-Spades} {k-Spades} {q-Hearts} {10-Hearts} , a flopped Broadway straight. Habibi called with {q-Clubs} {j-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} , a diamond draw and a running low draw. Both draws filled with an {8-Spades} turn and {3-Diamonds} river. Racener is out.
