Mizrachi Starts the Grind

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Minutes after taking his seat here in the Brasilia Room's Bronze section, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi has chipped up a bit, with Yevgeniy Timoshenko serving as his victim.

Mizrachi raised his button to 400, and Timoshenko flatted from the big blind, bringing a flop of {7-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{7-Spades} on board. Both players checked the flop, but Mizrachi took it down with a bet of 300 when the {6-Hearts} arrived on the turn.

Tilly Doubles

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Before the break, we caught up to find Jennifer Tilly and an opponent looking at a board of {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds} with 1,600 already in the middle. Tilly checked the turn and her opponent fired 650. Tilly announced a check-raise all in and and her opponent called, showing {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. He was, however, crushed by Tilly's {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a flopped full house. The {3-Spades} finished off the board and Tilly dragged in the pot.

Tilly was able to secure the double up and now sits at 5,200 in chips.

Johnny Flops the World

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

We saw a huge pot developing between John Hennigan and two opponents, and eventually the man known as "Johnny World" was scooping the chips his way.

The flop had fallen {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Hennigan checked to a player in the one seat, who fired a bet of 1,100 into the middle. Next to act, another player moved all in over the top, making it 2,875 to play. Hennigan asked for a count, and then rolled his calling chops into the pot. The original bettor flatted the all in as well, and the turn card came {9-Spades}.

Hennigan then led out for 3,400, a bet which folded the remaining opponent and left "Johnny World" to show down with the all-in player, who just happened to hold {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}. Hennigan turned over his {K-Hearts}{j-Hearts}, having flopped top pair and a flush draw, and wouldn't you know it, the {j-Spades} completed the board on the river.

With his opponent understandably upset, World simply collected his new chips in silence, while a tablemate offered a "nice flop" from across the table.
