No, it's not Michael. It's not Robert either. They're both already through to Day 3. The Mizrachi in today's field is Michael's twin Eric, and he's trying to join his siblings in Day 3. He called a 2,200-chip pre-flop raise from the big blind, then check-called another 3,100 when the flop came king-high with two spades, 
. Both he and his opponent checked the 
turn. Whent he river fell a seeming blank, 
, Mizrachi led out for 6,600. His opponent called by wasn't up to snuff. Mizrachi's spade flush, 
, took down the pot.
Mizrachi is up to 110,000.
There's a guy dressed up as Chris Ferguson who lurks outside the corridor throughout the Main Event, signing autographs and posing for photos with unwitting fans.
Over in the Pavillion Room, the cameras were centered on the real Jesus. I didn't ask him for a ballroom dance or demand he sliced a carrot with a playing card, but I was pretty sure it was him.
On the felt lay a 
board, and as the camera lens tightened, Ferguson led for 10,000. His opponent tanked for a while before making the call with , which happened to be good.
It hasn't been a fruitful day for Ferguson, and with ESPN witnessing his failed bluff firsthand and unintentionally rubbing salt in already open wounds, life has just got slightly worse. He's now down to 20,000 and struggling.
Ylon Schwartz was in the small blind and raised to 2,300. The player in the big blind made it 6,200 to go and Schwartz made the call.
The flop came down 
and Schwartz went all in. His opponent, with about 25,000, called all in and showed , leading Schwartz's . The 
river changed nothing, but the 
hit the river, chopping the pot as both held queen-high straights.
Schwartz has about 78,000 at the moment.
Jamie Burland flat called an under-the-gun raise from the button with 
, before calling a c-bet on a 
flop. Check, check on the 
turn, before Burland called for 6,000 on the river. In the end, his knaves were pipped at the post by 
, sending Burland back down to 35,000.
Action folded to John Duthie in the small blind and he jammed all in for 18,200. The player in the big blind called. Duthie held the 
and his opponent held the 
.
The board ran out 
and Duthie was eliminated.
George Lind checked with the board reading 
and his opponent, Joerg Niepenberg, moved all in having Lind covered. Lind called and snap-mucked when Niepenberg showed 
.
Lind was out the door in a flash while Niepenberg is up to 120,000 chips.
One player limped under the gun and that set of a series of limps. A player in middle position, Ronnie Bardah from the cutoff and Bryan Micon from the button all limped before the big blind checked and let everyone see the flop for the minimum.
The flop came down 
and action checked around to Bardah. He fired 1,300. Micon and the big blind folded. The under-the-gun player made the call and the others folded, leaving heads-up action for the turn and river.
The turn brought the and the first player checked. Bardah fired 3,100 before his opponent raised to 7,000. Bardah tanked and let it go, dropping back to 115,000 in chips.
On a flop of 
, chip leader Gabriel Walls bet 3,500 after his lone opponent checked. That player called, prompting Walls to inquire how many more chips the player had (roughly 25,000).
Both players checked the 
turn. Walls' opponent tried a bet of 3,600 on the river but seemed to know he had blundered as soon as Walls called.
"I guess you've got a king," he said. And indeed, Walls opened for a pair of kings. That was the winning hand. Walls now has about 410,000 after a few small setbacks earlier.
Brian Roberts got all of his 22,300 chips into the middle pre-flop with 
from the big blind. The small blind took Roberts on with but couldn't perform the suck-out, 
. Roberts doubled up to 46,000.
