Zaichenko Busts Lee

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

Early chip leader Doug Lee raised to 975 leaving himself just a lone 25-denomination chip. With the action on Andrey Zaichenko, he three-bet to 2,000 to force everyone out before Lee made the call.

Lee: {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Zaichenko: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Zaichenko rivered a straight to send Lee to the rail.

Palarino Flops a Straight and Gets Paid

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

The cutoff limped in for 400 and Jeffrey Palarino raised to 1,800 from the button. David "Bakes" Baker said, "I raise pot," and he made it 6,200 to play from his seat in the small blind. The big blind and initial limper folded, but Palarino called.

The {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop was bet to the tune of 5,000 by Baker, Palarino moved all-in for a few thousand more and Baker called.

Baker: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Palarino: {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

Palarino had flopped a straight and Baker was left needing a ten in order to improve to a straight himself. The {3-Spades} turn was no help to Baker and neither was the {9-Spades} river, which sent the pot to Palarino.

Mizrachi Mauls Schwartz; Ascends to Chip Lead

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante
Michael Mizrachi
Michael Mizrachi

10 minutes ago it didn't appear as though Michael Mizrachi was in this tournament.

Now he has nearly 100,000 in chips.

As our PokerNews reporter searched the room for hands and chip counts, he noticed that Noah Schwartz's seat was empty and Mizrachi was dragging a monster pot.

On the previous round of chip counts - when Mizrachi wasn't there - Schwartz was nestled behind a near-40,000 chip stack.

However in the span of just several minutes, Schwartz has been sent to the rail just shy of dinner break as Mizrachi sit atop the leaderboard with an impressive 97,625.
