Jarvis Jumps Up, Mizrachi Mowed Down

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Amid the bagging of chips happening on all of the other tables, a huge hand developed right before the stoppage of play -- a three-way pot involving Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi, Matt Jarvis, and third player.

Mizrachi held {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and was covered by both of his opponents, one holding {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and Jarvis with {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. The flop came {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and turn the {A-Spades}, giving Mizrachi and Jarvis' opponent trip aces. But the river brought the {6-Spades}, giving Jarvis a boat and a double knockout.

While Mizrachi leaves the Pavilion, not to return for tomorrow's Day 2, it looks like Jarvis will becoming back as tomorrow's start-of-day leader. He's bagging a cool 303,800.
