Opponent Says Gracz-ie!

Michael Gracz raised in middle position only to have the big blind move all in for 6,800 total. Gracz made the call and turned over {J-Spades}{Q-Spades}. His opponent revealed {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}.

The flop made things interesting when it came {Q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. The {6-Clubs} on the turn left Gracz looking for a jack or queen. The river was paint, but it was the {K-Clubs}. Gracz's opponent doubled to 8,300 while Gracz dropped to 15,000.

Shulman Eliminated

Table #92 was home to some big name players including Brian Micon, Phil Hellmuth and Jeff Shulman. If you remember last year, Shulman hired Hellmuth as his poker coach after making the November Nine in the Main Event.

The stage was set for a teacher-student showdown, but before it could happen, Shulman found himself all in with {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} against the {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} of the player in the big bling.

The flop of {4-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Diamonds} left Shulman drawing thin, and the {K-Hearts} on the turn finished left him drawing dead. The {2-Hearts} was run out on the river and Shulman made his exit after saying goodbye to Hellmuth.

Mizrachi Doubles

After a limp from an opponent in the cutoff, Michael Mizrachi pushed his last 3,300 in from the small blind and was called by the limper.

Mizrachi: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{5-Spades}

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts} to give Mizrachi the double to 7,000 just as we close in on the dinner break.
