Karamalikis Takes Big One To Break

Catching the action on the flop of {A-Spades}{6-Spades}{7-Spades}, play checked to Jonathan Karamalikis who checked behind and the {4-Hearts} hit the turn. Again it was checked to Karamalikis who this time fired 13,000. His opponent called and the {5-Diamonds} completed the board on the river.

This time the player in early position led out for 32,000 but Karamalikis responded with a raise as he made it 124,000 to go, leaving himself just 64,500 behind. His opponent sighed and made a frustrated fold as Karamalikis chips up to 280,000.

Assouline Busts Aces

A tragic end for one player as his {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} are bust by David Assouline's {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} on an ensuing {8-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts} board. Still, at least he made the money, although it might be best to wait until later before offering him those words.

Assouline now on 420,000.

Shannon Shorr raised from middle position and Andre Coimbra called from the next seat. The flop came down {9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Shorr fired a continuation bet worth 19,000. Coimbra called.

The turn brought the {5-Diamonds} and Shorr fired 44,000. That was enough to make Coimbra give it up and drop back to 405,000. Shorr increased to about 500,000.

Year of the Mizrachis

Eric Mizrachi
Eric Mizrachi

It all started with the $50K Player's Championship, which featured both Michael and Robert at the final table, with the bracelet eventually going to Michael. Throughout the rest of the series the Mizrachis were a constant topic of conversation with Michael cashing in four events before the Main Event started and Robert cashing in five events leading up to today.

Yes, it's been a good summer to be a Mizrachi.

To top it all off, all four Mizrachi brothers cashed in today's main event. On a sad note, Eric Mizrachi is the first of them to be eliminated.

Mizrachi was riding a short stack and went all in with two other players shoving on top of him.

Mizrachi: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Seat 1: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Seat 4: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

The player with the aces stayed ahead the entire way through the hand, as the board fell {2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, eliminating Mizrachi and the player in Seat 1.

After busting, Eric went over to the main feature table where he visited a bit with his brother, Michael, showing him the ticket indicating the place he'd finished. The Grinder congratulated his brother, and the table all also congratulated the two of them. As Eric leaves, Michael continues his attempt at winning his second bracelet of the year.

Lellouche Helps Opponent Find the Rail

Anthony Lellouche is up to 300,000 after taking out one of the legions of short stacks now making their way to the cage. The other player was all in with {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}, a big favorite against Lellouche's {a-Spades}{7-Spades}. But Lellouche flopped the nuts, {5-Spades}{6-Spades}{j-Spades}, and that was all she wrote.

Lellouche now has about 300,000 in chips.

More for Menlo

When we arrived at his table, Isaac "westmenloAA" Baron was heads up with an opponent. The board read {q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, and Baron's opponent checked. Baron fired 17,500 and his opponent called.

The {q-Clubs} on the river paired the board and Baron's opponent checked again. Baron slid out 41,500 and after a moment for thought, his opponent called.

Baron rolled over {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts} for trip queens, his opponent mucked and Baron is up to 310,000 chips.
