Whoa. This is one hand you'd certainly see on tv if the cameras had made it in time to capture the whole thing. But while his brother is on the feature table, Danny Mizrachi was grinding the short stack on a table behind it. He raised to 13,000 under the gun, and David Benyamine called in middle position. Both blinds came along, and the doozie of flop fell 
. The small blind fired out 38,000. The big blind folded, and Mizrachi raised to 80,000. Benyamine then tried to use his big stack to muscle everyone out, moving all in for around 700,000. The smal blind called for a total of 280,000. And Mizrachi called all in as well with his last 124,000. Time for showdown.
Mizrachi: 
for the flopped nuts
Small Blind: 
for a flopped set
Benyamine: 
for a flush draw and an open-ended second-best straight draw
"That's the last thing I wanted to see - a flush draw and a set," Mizrachi said. Eric Mizrachi, who was eliminated shortly after the bubble, ran over to sweat the hand, and Michael Mizrachi's wife jogged in from the feature table to watch as well.
The 
turn was a brick, and the 
river was more of the same. The Mizrachi clan went nuts with high fives and hugs as Danny tripled up to 455,000. The small blind got the side pot to stay alive, and Benyamine dropped to 470,000.
We arrived just in time to see Heinz Kamutzki get his last in with 
. He was in some trouble against his opponent's 
.
There was the faintest glimmer of hope for Kamutzki on the 
flop, but the turn and river ran out 
and 
and with a nod and a handshake, Kamutzki was gone.
A short stack raised it up preflop leaving himself just 4,000 behind. Perhaps just for amusement, Sammy Farha flat called from the big blind before announcing, "Check in the dark."
The flop was 
, and the short stack inevitably threw in his remaining shrapnel and Farha made the call.
On their backs and Farha was a gnat's nose hair behind with 
versus 
. "It's OK," he smiled in his familiarly nonchalant manner, "we're going to chop."
And, indeed, chop they did, the turn and river coming 
and respectively to keep the short stack short-stacked and Farha on 230,000.
"It's all right," he added. "I made money."
On the last hand of the night, Johnny Chan flopped the world against an opponent and eliminated him.
We rushed to the table after we saw cameras swarm the table, and the board was 
. Chan's had his opponent's 
crushed, and the turn and river came , 
respectively.
Chan will bag up 1,159,000 chips while his opponent is off to collect his prize money at the cage.
We arrived just in time to see the cards turned over, Allen Cunningham all in.

Cunningham tossed his hole cards over to his opponent on the turn, as his opponent grandstanded for the TV cameras.
With just moments to spare, we lost lean-mean-cashing-machine Chris Bjorin. It was Jason Mercier who lit the first spark, raising it up to 14,000 from late position, only for London-residing Bjorin to push all in from the button for a total of 97,000. After a minute or two of deliberation, Mercier made the call.

Consequently, Mercier leapt up to 340,000.
Jason Somerville opened for 12,000 from UTG+1 and the big blind called. The flop came down and the big blind checked to Somerville, who bet 18,000. The big blind called and they went to the turn, which fell the . The big blind check-called another 42,000. The river was the 
and the big blind moved all-in for 125,000. Somerville tanked for about a minute before making the call.
Somerville showed for the win, eliminated his opponent, and chipped up to 606,000 to end the night.
After losing a flip with pocket sixes against her opponent's 
just moments earlier, Jackie Glazier showed that she wasn't going to be pushed around on the very last hand of the day.
With a cutoff open to 16,000, Glazier moved all in for her stack which was a tick over 100,000. Her opponent thought for a moment and flashed the before folding. Glazier returned the favor and showed 
!
As one last remaining females in the tournament, Glazier will carry some momentum with her 134,000-chip stack tomorrow.
