Michael Mizrachi Eliminated in 9th Place ($12,683)

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Michael Mizrachi - 9th Place
Michael Mizrachi - 9th Place

Michael Mizrachi just found himself in a three-way battle with David "ODB" Baker and Daniel Negreanu in which he had position on the other two, but was playing with a short stack.

They reached the first draw with Baker and Mizrachi each taking two cards and Negreanu one. Baker checked, Negreanu bet, and both Mizrachi and Baker called. Baker and Negreanu took one each on the second draw while Mizrachi took two, and again it checked to Negreanu who bet. This time Mizrachi committed his last 15,000 with his call, and Baker called as well.

The third draw saw Baker taking one, Negreanu standing pat, and Mizrachi tanking for a while before discarding two. Baker then check-folded to Negreanu's bet, with the latter quickly saying "Ten!" as he tabled {10-}{8-}{6-}{4-}{2-}.

Mizrachi checked his cards, then shook his head when he saw he'd failed to draw a better hand and mucked.

After starting the day with one of the short stacks, Negreanu is now going to be taking the chip lead to the first break.

Baker Bests Wasserson

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

From the cutoff seat, Eric Wasserson raised. David "ODB" Baker reraised on the button, then play folded back to Wasserson. He made it four bets, and Baker called.

On the first draw, Wasserson took one and Baker took two. Wasserson fired a bet, and Baker called.

For the second draw, both players took one. Both players then checked.

On the third and final draw, both players took one again. Wasserson then led with a bet, Baker raised, and Wasserson called.

Baker showed the {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} for an eighty-six, and Wasserson mucked his hand.

Negreanu Chip Leader, Mizrachi Getting Short

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

We only caught the tail end of the hand that got Daniel Negreanu the chip lead, but we know that Negreanu check raised Michael Mizrachi after the second draw. Both of them stood pat, and Negreanu bet again after the third draw. Mizrachi called, and Negreanu showed {8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}, which beat Mizrachi. Negreanu jumped up to 490,000 after that hand.

A few hands later, Mizrachi raised under the gun, and Eric Wasserson reraised from the button. Mizrachi called, then drew three, while Wasserson drew just one. Mizrachi check called, then drew one, while Wasserson stood pat. The same betting action happened, then the same draws, but this time, Mizrachi check folded.

Chiu Bets, Earns Fold

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Alexander Condon raised from under the gun and David Chiu defended his big blind. Both took two on the first draw, with Chiu betting and Condon calling. Chiu took one on the second and Condon two, and again Chiu bet and Condon called.

Chiu then stood pat as Condon drew one, and when Chiu bet Condon went into the tank for more than half a minute before folding, showing his {9-}{7-} as he did. Chiu grinningly showed two of his cards, too — {J-}{9-} — and Condon had to laugh.

Eighty-Seven No Good for Elezra

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Eli Elezra raised it on the button, and Alexander Condon reraised from the big blind. Condon drew one, while Elezra drew three, and Condon bet dark. Elezra called, and Condon stood pat, while Elezra drew one. Condon bet dark again, and Elezra called. Both players stood pat, and Condon bet a third time. Elezra called, and Condon announced "eighty six perfect", showing {8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}.

Elezra cringed, then showed {8-}{7-}{4-}{3-}{2-}. Afterwards, he said "I drew my perfect card and I still lost," he said with a frustrated smile.

Seiver's Ups and Downs

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Scott Seiver just survived an all-in situation after committing his last chips in a hand versus Daniel Negreanu, then drawing one card to make an eight smooth — {8-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} — while Negreanu drew one to pair up on the end.

Seiver then lost some back to Eric Wasserson in a three-way hand that saw David "ODB" Baker hand in through the second draw, then Wasserson and Seiver made it to showdown with Wasserson showing an {8-}{7-}{5-}{3-}{2-} and Seiver mucking.

With less than 80,000, Seiver again has just under five big bets with which to work.

Seiver Doubles With Wheel

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Scott Seiver raised it up on the button, and Eric Wasserson called from the small blind. Wasserson drew two, while Seiver drew three, and Wasserson check called a bet from Seiver. Wasserson drew one, while Seiver stood pat, and Wasserson check called again. The same drawing action happened, and Wasserson bet enough to put Seiver all in.

Seiver snap called, and showed the nuts: {7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}, which improbably he got after drawing three, while Wasserson shook his head, and showed {8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}.
