Royal Flush for Everyone

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!" we heard from Table 38 in the Silver Section of the Brasilia Room.

Now, in the Main Event, yelling and cheering is common, even for regular occurrences, but this was different. When we looked over to the table, all but two players - the ones in the hand - had their cameras out, taking a picture of the board. Even a massage therapist paused to reach for her smart phone and capture whatever it was that had the entire table gushing.

When we finally arrived, their were two players heads up on a board of {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{a-Hearts}. Yes, there was a royal flush on the board. One player moved all in, and the other called.

"Very funny, guys," the dealer said.

The two players showed {q-Spades}{2-Hearts} and {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, meaning they both turned flushes as well, but the gentleman with the deuce of hearts was fortunate enough to chop.

The dealer held the board for a few more pictures, then finally washed the cards and began riffling in preparation of a new hand.

"I shuffled too!" the dealer made sure to say.

Dwan Here, But Not

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Derek Lerner caught our attention as we were passing by his table and informed us that the empty chair to his right, with chips being blinded away, does in fact belong to Tom Dwan. Whether he takes his seat to play on Day 1C is anybody's guess, but we'll keep you posted.

Freddy's Back

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Freddy Deeb, who has accumulated one the largest stacks we've seen so far, disappeared during the last level. He returned to the table after dinner, however, and is picking up right where he left off: taking chips.

We arrived at the table on the turn with Deeb on the button and the board reading {2-Clubs}{j-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Deeb and the small blind were the only players with cards, and Deeb called his opponent's bet of 1,000. The small blind bet another 1,000 when the {9-Hearts} completed the board on the river, and Deeb called again. His opponent tabled {a-}{j-} for send pair, but Deeb showed {k-Hearts}{7-Spades} for a winning top pair. Deeb raked in the pot and continues to build his stack.

Can "The Grinder" Be Stopped?

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Michael Mizrachi
Michael Mizrachi

Michael Mizrachi opened to 725 from under the gun, as the table folded around to the player in the small blind. He made the call, before both players saw the flop come down {k-Spades}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}. The action was checked to Mizrachi, who placed out a bet of 500, which was called. The {5-Diamonds} then fell on the turn. His opponent checked, then Mizrachi fired out another 1,500. His opponent called. The river came the {10-Spades} and after another check, Mizrachi quickly bet out 3,500.

His opponent was obviously not too pleased with the continuous betting, as Mizrachi pointed at the {3-Spades} in the middle of the table, possibly putting his opponent on a pair.

“I call ya,” said the player in the small blind, before Mizrachi tabled his {10-Clubs}{q-Spades} for a pair on the river.

His opponent shook his head, tabling his {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, before mucking the hand.

Mizrachi has kept the aggression going all day, as he surpasses the 150,000-chip mark with two levels to go.
