Clinkscales Clips Mizrachi

Level 4 : 50/200, 50 ante
Rex Clinkscales
Rex Clinkscales

Rex Clinkscales had the bring-in and Phil Ivey completed. Both Michael Mizrachi and Clinkscales made the call before Ivey bet fourth and both players called. Fifth street saw Mizrachi take the lead with only Clinkscales calling as Mizrachi fired again on sixth with Clinkscales once again making the call.

Clinkscales: {X-}{X-} / {3-Spades}{K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} / {X-}
Ivey: {X-}{X-} / {Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} (folded on fifth)
Mizrachi: {X-}{X-} / {7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts} / {X-}

Both players checked on seventh and Mizrachi tabled his {J-Hearts}{J-Spades} / {A-Hearts}, but it would be Clinkscales' {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{6-Spades} that would see him capture the pot.

Trips for Mercier

Level 4 : 50/200, 50 ante

Catching the action on sixth street we found Jason Mercier putting chips into the pot before he fired out 400 on seventh street.

Mercier: {X-}{X-} / {K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} / {X-}
Opponent: {X-}{X-} / {K-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades} / {X-}

Mercier's opponent made the call and Mercier quickly flipped over his {K-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for trips to take the pot and move to 4,300 in chips.

Dario Minieri
Dario Minieri

After a complete then a raise from Calvin Anderson, Dario Minieri three-bet and was called by both the active players before he bet fourth and was again called round. On fifth street Minieri bet 300 and was raised by the original completer as Anderson folded. Minieri smooth-called as we went to seventh.

Opponent: {X-}{X-} / {9-Hearts}{10-Spades}{K-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} / {X-}
Anderson: {X-}{X-} / {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} (folded on fifth)
Minieri: {X-}{X-} / {5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} / {X-}

Minieri shuffled his cards for a few moments before peeking down at {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. He threw out a bet of 300 and his opponent swiftly called before mucking at the sight of Minieri's flush as the Italian moves to over 15,000 in chips.

Master Flush'd

Level 3 : 50/150, 25 ante

Men "The Master" Nguyen bet out for 300 on fifth street and found one call and one fold before he bet sixth only to be raised. An angered Nguyen quickly called before checking seventh street dark.

Nguyen: {X-}{X-} / {2-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{K-Spades} / {X-}
Opponent: {X-}{X-} / {10-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{K-Hearts} / {X-}

After his opponent bet out, Nguyen stated, "I know you have the flush but the pot is too big to not pay you off!"

Nguyen tossed in the 600 to call as his opponent stated, "I had a straight but made the flush" and tabled his {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts} / {8-Hearts} as Nguyen folded his hand and slipped to just under 14,000 in chips.
