David Defeats Goliath

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Earlier we reported how Michael Mizrachi went into heads up play with a 40,000 to 5,000 lead over his opponent Greg Buonocore, to which Buonocore responded "It's David vs. Goliath and you know who won that battle." Well it looks like Buonocore might be a prophet because sure enough he charged back, and has just defeated the Grinder heads up to advance to tomorrow.

Boeree Eliminates One

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

The {2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop was on the board and bet of 550 was made from the player in the small blind and Liv Boeree made the call from the big. The small blind checked the {3-Clubs} turn and Boeree bet 900. The small blind answered by moving all in and Boeree called with {j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. The small blind held {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and couldn't find any help on the river.

After this elimination, Boeree's table is six-handed with Jason Mercier and Steven Silverman in attendance.

Gates Eliminated in Roller Coaster Hand

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

We heard the dealer yell all in and a call at the table in front of us, and saw that Garry Gates was the player who was at risk. The flop read {9-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, and Gates held {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for an inside straight draw and flush draw. However, he was in rough shape, as his opponent held a terrible hand for him: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. A heart would be no good for Gates, who was now looking for just a jack or a king. Well the {j-Diamonds} on the turn gave him a leading straight, and now he was the one who was in great shape. However, that changed when the {k-Spades} hit the river, giving his opponent broadway.

Gates wished his table mates good luck before heading for the exits.

Vandersmissen & Yeazell Heads Up

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

On their way to heads up, Kevin Vandersmissen and David Yeazell each eliminated a player in the two previous hands.

It started when Vandersmissen thought he was raising to 4,000 from the button but the player from the cutoff had moved all in and he actually called the all in bet.

Vandersmissen: {a-Spades}{2-Spades}
Cutoff: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

The board ran out {q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} and the ace on the river gave Vandersmissen a pair of aces and eliminated a player to bring the table down to three.

On the very next hand, David Yeazell called the all in of the player in the small blind after raising from the button.

Yeazell: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Small Blind: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The flop was good to the small blind when it came {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for two pair. The {9-Hearts} gave the lead back to Yeazell and he filled up with the {10-Clubs} river eliminating his opponent and setting up heads up play.
