Dinner Break Time; Mizrachi Wins Monster to Lead

[user80015]

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

The remaining players are now heading on a 90-minute dinner break. Play will re-commence at approximately 8:25 p.m. local Las Vegas time.

The final level before dinner break began with several notables improving on their chip stacks as Marvin Rettenmaier, Michael Mizrachi, Ari Engel, Rachid Ben Cherif and Matt Marafioti. However recent bracelet winner Matt Perrins headed to dinner early alongside Danny Wong and FC Barcelona and Spain centreback Gerard Piqué. Piqué shoved a flop with but was called by James Alexander's set of eights, and when the board paired on the turn, Piqué was drawing dead.

The story of the level would be the late arrival of Joe Serock following an accident on his moped, but soon after would hit the rail.

As the level came to a close 2005 World Champion Joe Hachem, two-time bracelet winner Vanessa Selbst, Owais Ahmed, Randy Lew, Brian Lemke and JC Alvarado all found themselves on the rail as the likes of Phil Ivey, Jamie Gold and Jean-Robert Bellande began climbing up the leader board. However as the last few hands were being dealt for level eight, it would be Dirk van Luijk soaring to the top after flopping trips and improving to a full house.

Three-time WSOP bracelet winner and past November Niner in Mizrachi would have something to say about van Luijk being on top as he won a massive pot in the final few minutes that saw him surge to over 550,000 in chips. Mizrachi held on a flop against Robert Deppe. Mizrachi then called a bet when the landed on the turn before he led for 120,000 when the river landed the . Deppe eventually found a call tabling his , and with Mizrachi rivering Broadway, he would take a monster lead to dinner.

As players enjoy a feast of fine-dining or fast food, take a few minutes to watch our very own Lynn Gilmartin interview Sam Trickett about the next stop on his poker journey following his recent elimination.

Tolbert Takes an Early Dinner

[user101598]

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

After some strange preflop action, which included Stephen Cesaro betting orange T5,000 chips instead of T1,000 chips because he is color blind, Clint Tolbert was all in and at risk with . Cesaro, who admitted his mistake after the hand, had him at risk with .

The flop was rather harmless, and the on the turn was a great card for Tolbert who held the , but the spiked on the river to give Cesaro Broadway. Tolbert was quick to exit, while a stunned Cesaro pulled in the pot.

"Wow," Cesaro said, then referenced his color blindness: "That's never happened before."

Tolbert added this on Twitter:

Mizrachi Coolers Deppe, Takes Chip Lead

Kevin Taylor

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Wow.

We just caught the tail end of one of the biggest pots we've seen all tournament. We only walked up to the table on the river, but another tablemate was kind enough to walk us through the flop and turn action.

Mizrachi was in a battle of the blinds with Robert Deppe on a flop of . Mizrachi check-called a bet of 20,500, and the turn was the . Mizrachi check-called another big bet of 33,300, and the came on the river, which is where we walked in.

Mizrachi slid out a massive bet of 120,000, a bet that has many of the field still left covered. Deppe went deep, deep into the tank, and at one point said "Did you hear what I have?" Mizrachi said no, and Deppe said "I have top set."

Mizrachi didn't seem to react as Deppe continued to shake his head and shuffle his chips. Deppe said "I can't fold this," and eventually, he slid in the call. Mizrachi immedaitely showed for a flopped flush draw that hit a broadway straight on the river, and Deppe did indeed turn over for top set.

The whole table was left dumbfounded, both at the giant pot and the fact that Deppe almost folded. That is little consolation to him though, as he is down to 21,000, while Mizrachi is our new overwhelming chip leader with 553,000.

Railing Robert

Shamus

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

While Michael Mizrachi remains among the chip leaders as Level 8 nears its close and the dinner break draws near, a quick check on his brother, Robert, shows him continuing to fight with a chip stack that's been hovering around 40,000-50,000 for most of the day.

Just now Robert was raising from early position to 1,800 and getting a single caller from the blinds, then successfully claiming a small pot after continuing with a bet on the wet flop.

Robert has one career WSOP bracelet to his credit thus far (2007, $10,000 PLO) with his highest Main Event finish coming in 2010 when he made it to 116th.
