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.
The 
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 
turn and Boeree bet 900. The small blind answered by moving all in and Boeree called with 
. The small blind held 
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.
The tournament has its first winner in Kevin Vandersmissen. Vandersmissen defeated David Yeazell after just a few hands of heads up play to secure his spot in the next round.
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 
, and Gates held 
for an inside straight draw and flush draw. However, he was in rough shape, as his opponent held a terrible hand for him: 
. A heart would be no good for Gates, who was now looking for just a jack or a king. Well the on the turn gave him a leading straight, and now he was the one who was in great shape. However, that changed when the 
hit the river, giving his opponent broadway.
Gates wished his table mates good luck before heading for the exits.
Rodney Brown eliminated Matt Waxman when his 
held up on a 
board. With Waxman's elimination, Brown is now heads up with Tristan Wade for his table.
Taylor Paur has been cruising at his table all day, as he holds 25,000 at his four handed table. At another table, Tim Adams has about 23,000 with his table playing five handed.
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: 
Cutoff: 
The board ran out 
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: 
Small Blind:
The flop was good to the small blind when it came for two pair. The gave the lead back to Yeazell and he filled up with the river eliminating his opponent and setting up heads up play.
