Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante
Michael Mizrachi
Michael Mizrachi

Michael Mizrachi put his last 4,000 in on {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and received a call from an opponent in the small blind. Mizrachi had {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for kings and a flush draw but he was facing {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for aces with blockers. Nonetheless, the {10-Clubs} river hit following the {6-Hearts} turn, good for a "Grinder" double.

Elezra Doubles Through Green

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante

Eli Elezra checked from the big blind on {9-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and Brian Green bet 2,500 from early position. Elezra made it 8,000 and Green called in short order. Elezra bet 16,000 more on the {10-Clubs} turn and then jammed the {6-Diamonds} river for 26,950. Green called but couldn't beat {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{3-Clubs} for jacks full.

He mucked and the dealer turned up {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a flopped boat.

On a board of {3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, Jonathan Kamhazi bet 16,300 from under the gun and got calls from Tim Marsters and Mark Gregorich, who was on the button. The river brought the {6-Diamonds} and Marsters shoved for about 28,000 after Kamhazi checked. Gregorich called off for about 25,000 after about 30 seconds of thought but Marsters showed {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades} for kings full.

Gregorich mucked and the dealer turned over {a-}{6-}{4-}{4-} with nut diamonds.

The final bet was worth 37,250 and it sounded like basically all of the money was in on the turn with Virani holding top two.
