Somerville Soars; Jivkov Out

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Jason Somerville recently dragged in a pot where he was all in for 82,100 and he was able to double through Cary Katz. Catz three-bet before the flop and Somerville smooth called to see the flop come {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. The two got it all in and Katz showed {J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a flopped straight but Somerville had flopped the world with {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}. The {J-Clubs} hit the turn, giving Somerville a higher straight and he was able to scoop the pot. On the other side of the room, Nick Jivkov was eliminated from play in unknown action.

Mizrachi's Rivered Pair is Good

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Dan O'Brien opened his button to 3,200 and received a call from Robert Mizrachi in the big blind. The duo took in a flop that read {Q-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and Mizrachi checked. O'Brien continued out for 2,400 and Mizrachi came over the top for 5,100 total. O'Brien called to see a turn.

The {6-Spades} came down on the turn and Mizrachi slowed down with a check. O'Brien checked it as well and the {7-Spades} finished the board. Mizrachi casually flung 3,000 onto the felt and O'Brien called. Mizrachi showed {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a rivered pair of sevens to go with the queens and it was good as O'Brien mucked his cards. Mizrachi picked up the pot and now has about 68,000.

Plenty of Extras Being Given Away at This Year's WSOP

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

The buzz inside the walls of the Rio extends beyond just the tournaments on the 2013 World Series of Poker schedule. Online poker in Nevada is a very, very hot topic right now, and WSOP.com is making a lot of noise.

While the site has yet to launch, you can head to the Lambada Room of the Rio or look for one of the beautiful and friendly WSOP.com ladies walking the hallways to sign up for a free, personal WSOP.com online poker account. This is a great way to get a jump on the site's registration, and plenty of people have already taken this opportunity.

What's more is that the WSOP will be hosting daily raffles for everyone that has taken the time to register for WSOP.com at the Rio. What can you win? Plenty of fantastic prizes including 36 WSOP seats!

Players 21 years of age and older who sign up for a WSOP.com account will automatically be entered into the “36-Seat Giveaway” where a randomly-selected winner will win a seat into the next day’s first WSOP gold bracelet event. One of the events eligible in this promotion is the $111,111 One Drop High Roller No-Limit Hold’em tournament that is expected to feature a $10,000,000 prize pool and allow you to play poker with the biggest names in the game.

Vandersmissen Doubles Through Hennigan

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

We arrived at the table to find Kevin Vandersmissen, John Hennigan, and Amit Makhija looking down at {4-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} on the felt. Vandersmissen checked over to Hennigan who also knocked the table. Makhija fired out 5,300 and Vandersmissen made it 11,400 to go.

Hennigan thought for quite some time before making a three-bet to 25,000. Makhija folded and Vandersmissen replied by moving all in. Hennigan announced a call and the hands were rolled over:

Vandersmissen: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Hennigan: {A-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The {K-Hearts} peeled off on the turn and several small gasps were heard at the table as Hennigan now picked up outs to make a higher full house. It was not meant to be, however, as the {9-Diamonds} hit the river and Hennigan was forced to ship 43,100 across the table for Vandersmissen's double up.
