Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi raised to 16,000 from early position and Joe Cassidy made the call from the big blind to see the flop come down {J-Spades} {5-Spades} {3-Spades} . Cassidy checked and Mizrachi bet 20,000. Cassidy called.

After the {J-Diamonds} paired the board on the turn, Cassidy check-called another bet from Mizrachi. This time it was for 32,000. The dealer then dealt the {10-Clubs} on the river. Cassidy checked again and Mizrachi fired 50,000. Cassidy tanked for a bit, but gave it up in the end and Mizrachi won the pot.

Omaha-8

Phil Ivey was very active in the lastest round of Omaha H/L. He doubled up short-stacked Alexander Kravchenko when Kravchenko raised all in with {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} . Ivey called from the big blind with {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {10-Hearts} {9-Clubs} , but couldn't come out ahead when the board fell {6-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} .

Still, Ivey has added about 100,000 to his stack since the break. In a hand against John Hennigan, Ivey raised from the cutoff and then called Hennigan's three-bet from the button.

The flop fell {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} and Ivey check-raised a Hennigan bet. Hennigan called to see the {3-Clubs} turn and proceeded to call Ivey's bet. However, he folded to Ivey's river bet after the {3-Hearts} fell.

Chris Klodnicki had the bring in and Stephen Chidwick completed it. Roland Israelashvili made the call, as did Klodnicki giving us three-way action. Chidwick bet third street and both his opponents called.

On fourth street Klodnicki bet and both Klodnicki and Israelashvili made the call. Fith street didn't change the betting lead, and Klodnicki fired at it again. He got two callers once more, and on seventh it was checked down.

Klodnicki turned over {7-} {6-} {4-} for a seven-six low and both his opponents mucked.
