Mizzi Doubles Through Bianquin

We caught up with the action on a {K-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} flop. It appeared that Sorel Mizzi and Marco Bianquin got into a raising war on the flop, with Mizzi being the last to go all-in. Bianquin fell hard into the tank and eventually a fellow table-mate called the clock on him. A tourney director told him his hand would be dead after one minute. Making full use of his time, Bianquin continued to tank until the director began the 10-second countdown.

With just one second to go, Bianquin announced, "Call."

Mizzi: {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Bianquin: {2-Spades}{8-Spades}

The {J-Spades} turn and {10-Hearts} river were no help to Bianquin and he was forced to surrender the majority of his stack. Mizzi, on the other hand, doubled to 147,000.

Miller Keeps His Foot on the Accelerator

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Milad Jorshari moved all in from late position and got a call from Thomas Miller. Jorshari held {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds} and Miller held {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}.

"God! Did I run into aces again?" Jorshari asked.

The board ran {9-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} and Jorshari looked heartbroken as he seemed to think for a second that the river was the case jack. Miller moved north of 300,000 with that pot, but we'll let you know when he gets it stacked and counted.

Rheem Doubles

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Eugene Castro opened for 8,000 from middle position and action folded to Chino Rheem on the button, who went all in for his last 30,500. Castro made the call.

Rheem: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Castro: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

The {3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts} was safe for Rheem and he scooped the pot. Castro fell to about 120,000.

Christopher Doubles, Then Eliminated

Tom Christopher was short stacked when he got the last of his chips in preflop, and was called down by Jonathan Little. The players flipped their cards, and it was a classic coin flip.

Little: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Christopher: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Christopher stormed into the lead when the flop came {8-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. The turn was the {a-Hearts}, and the river gave Christoper unnecessary trips, as it came the {k-Clubs}.

Merely seconds after he had just stacked his newly won chips, Christopher was right back at it, going all in again under the gun on the very next hand. Action folded to Milad Jorshari, who made the call. Everyone else got out of the way, and Christopher saw that he was dominated by Jorshari.

Jorshari: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Christopher: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The flop came out {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, giving Christoper no help. The {a-Spades} hit the turn, which actually helped Christopher, upping his outs to the remaining queens in the deck. However, the river came the {7-Hearts}, and Christopher was sent to the rail.

Sebastian Winkler: Your Chip Leader

We are almost down to our final 100 players, and a few of them have started to seperate themselves from the rest of the pack. The furthest ahead of the pack is Sebastian Winkler, who has managed to amass a stack of around 400,000 in chips. With the blinds only at 1,200/2,400, to say that Winkler is deep stacked is quite an understatement. We will be sure to keep an eye on him as the night progresses.
