Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Warwick Mirzikinian had the button and opened to 60,000. Aubin Cazals called. The flop fell {2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, Cazals checked, and Mirzikinian fired 75,000. Cazals called.

The turn was the {k-Clubs}, and both players checked. The {3-Hearts} completed the board, and Cazals led out for 100,000. Mirzikinian tanked, then raised to 250,000. Cazals called, and Mirzikinian tabled {q-}{5-}.

Cazals turned over {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a flush, and now has a massive chip lead entering the break.

Both checked through to the {2-Clubs} on the turn where Cazals bet 60,000. A call from Mirzikinian landed the {J-Hearts} river card. A check from Cazals was followed by a bet of 95,000 from Mirzikinian. Cazals called and was happy to see Mirzikinian table {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a missed flush draw.

With {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, Cazals took it down with second pair.

Match 1: Mirzikinian Doubles To Even The Match

Warwick Mirzikinian raised to 85,000 on the button and Aubin Cazals re-raised all in with the bigger stack from the big blind. Mirzikinian called immediately with {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}, well ahead of the {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} of Cazals.

The {10-Clubs} was the window card, but when the entire flop was spread it read {K-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Cazals paired his ten, but Mirzikinian did the same with his king. The {5-Hearts} turn and {3-Diamonds} river were no help to Cazals, securing the double up for Mirzikinian and nearly evening out the stacks.

Match 1: Cazals Climbing Again

Aubin Cazals raised to 60,000 on the button and Warwick Mirzikinian defended his big blind.

The flop came down {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Mirzikinian check-called 80,000 to see the {2-Spades} hit the turn. A check from both landed the {7-Clubs} river. Mirzikinian checked it to Cazals who bet 228,000.

Mirzikinian fidgeted around in his chair as the amount was announced and proceeded to call shortly thereafter, but saw the bad news when Cazals tabled {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, besting Mirzikinian's smaller ace to win the pot.

Cheong in the Building

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Joseph Cheong - still waiting for an opponent.
Joseph Cheong - still waiting for an opponent.

When Joseph Cheong defeated Hugo Lemaire over six hours ago, he decided to hop into today's $1,500 re-entry event. He currently has over 20,000 chips over in the Brasilia Room, and, since he's on break, he decided to come back to the Amazon Room to check out what's going on. He's not paying much attention to the action however - he just wants to figure out if the finals will occur tonight or tomorrow.

There's been no official word thus far however, so Cheong is headed back to grind Event 9.
