Smith Picks Another Spot

Level 25 : 200,000/400,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Dan Smith opened with a raise to 350,000 on the button. Michael Mizrachi called from the small blind before John Hennigan announced "pot" from the big blind, making it 1,400,000. Smith immediately stood up from his seat.

"If two players bust in the same hand, does it go by chips?" Smith asked the floor for clarification. The floor confirmed. Smith thought for a bit longer then released his hand. Mizrachi immediately let go as well.

"Damn," Smith said. "I was hoping he would bust your ass."

Hennigan smiled and raked in the pot.

Michael Mizrachi and John Hennigan

No-Limit Hold'em

Michael Mizrachi raised to 225,000 from the button, John Hennigan three-bet to 750,000 from the big blind and Mizrachi called.

The flop came down {Q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Hennigan continued for 700,000. Mizrachi raised to 2,000,000, Hennigan reraised all in for about 5,300,000 and Mizrachi called instantly with {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a pair of nines with a flush draw. Hennigan held {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for an open-ended straight draw.

As the Mizrachi section hollered calling for a heart, the {10-Hearts} turn fell to give Mizrachi a winning flush, rendering the {8-Diamonds} river (and Hennigan's straight) moot.

John Hennigan finished in second place for $765,937.
