Randy Ohel walked us through the hand where he eliminated Tommy Hang. From under the gun, Ohel opened. Tommy Hang defended in the big blind.

The flop came {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{J-} and Hang checked. Ohel bet and Hang check-raised. Ohel called.

On the {4-} turn, Hang bet, Ohel put him all in, and Hang called.

Tommy Hang: {a-}{9-}
Randy Ohel: {A-}{10-}

The river bricked out with a {2-} and Ohel would rake in the pot while Hang was sent to the rail, bringing the field down to just three tables.

Mizrachi is Still Not Bluffing

Level 17 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

On the button, Michael Mizrachi made it 35,000 and Ben Yu called in the big blind.

The flop came down {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and both players checked. They checked again on the {3-Clubs} turn.

The river was the {Q-Diamonds} and Yu led out with a bet of 50,000. Mizrachi asked how much the bet was, then threw out a stack of white T$100,000 chips, making a pot-sized bet for 228,000. Yu dropped into the tank. He was in the tank for several minutes but eventually decided to call.

"Kings full," Mizrachi said, showing {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}.

Yu mucked his hand and Mizrachi took down the pot.

"I thought for sure you were bluffing that time," Greg Mueller said. "I texted my buddy and I said, for sure he's got to be bluffing this time."

Mizrachi smiled and raked in the pot.
