Bronshtein Makes Perfect Read

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante
Yuval Bronshtein
Yuval Bronshtein

Yuval Bronshtein: {x-}{x-} / {a-Diamonds}
Bryan Pimlott: {x-}{x-} / {4-Diamonds}

A player brought in for 2,000 with the {2-Spades} and Bryan Pimlott completed to 6,000 with the {4-Diamonds}. Yuval Bronshtein put two bets in the middle with the {a-Diamonds} and the bring in folded. Pimlott made it three bets and Bronshtein called.

Bronshtein caught the {9-Spades} on fourth and lead out with another bet. Pimlott didn't hesitate with the {q-Clubs} added to his board and he put two bets in the middle.

Bronshtein tanked for a bit before he started to ask if Pimlott was rolled up. Bronshtein was implying that Pimlott had two fours in the hole. Bronshtein had only 40,000 behind and he thought about it for a little bit longer. He continued to ask Pimlott if he was rolled up but he didn't get an answer.

Bronshtein open folded {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} for a pair of aces and a blocker to Pimlott's queen. Pimlott collected the pot before he showed {4-Spades}{4-Hearts} for rolled up fours.

Michael Mizrachi Crushes Day 2 of Event #27: Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Michael Mizrachi
Michael Mizrachi

Event #27: $1,500 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better has come to a close, and none other than Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi tops the field going into Day 3 play. He went on a rampage in the final level of the day, doubling his stack from the start of the final level to reach a final tally of 643,000 in chips. Mizrachi, pictured left, who owns four WSOP bracelets, including a record three in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship, was told "Congrats on your upcoming bracelet," by Jon Turner in reference to the Poker Players Championship. He may have unintentionally referenced this tournament, as Mizrachi will be wielding over three times the average stack heading into Day 3.

Notable names still in the hunt include Anna Wroblewski (189,000), the aforementioned Turner (173,000), and 2019 first-time WSOP bracelet winner Yuval Bronshtein (70,000). Others to bag include Robert Gray (510,000), Jason Daly (483,000), Cory Chaput (374,000), Jan Stein (154,000), and Eric Rodawig (55,000).

Of the 460 players to begin Day 1, just 195 players returned for Day 2 action. Of those, only 69 would walk away with a piece of the prize pool, and some of those that managed to earn a share include multiple WSOP bracelet winners Barbara Enright (27th - $3,409), and Steve Zolotow (29th - $3,409), Karina Jett (33rd - $2,991), 2018 WSOP bracelet winner Filippos Stavrakis (39th - $2,991), seven-time WSOP bracelet winner Men "The Master" Nguyen (44th - $2,688), former champ Daniel Idema (51st - $2,475), four-time WSOP bracelet winner Artie Cobb (56th - $2,475), and six-time WSOP bracelet winner Chris "Jesus" Ferguson (62nd - $2,337).

Defending champ Benjamin Dobson was unable to mount a defense, falling short of the money. Others to fail to earn a payday include bracelet winners Daniel Negreanu, Perry Friedman, Benjamin Zamani, Matt Grapenthien, Daniel Zack, Ken "Teach" Aldridge, John Esposito, and Brian Hastings, as well as Adam Owen, Norman Chad, and Alex Foxen. Cyndy Violette, searching for her 21st year with a cash at the WSOP, will have to wait for another event, as she fell on the bubble, the result of Nicholas Kiley making a straight to best her open pair of eights.

The final twenty-three players will return on Wednesday at 2 p.m. and play down to a final table of six. Be sure to stay tuned right here to PokerNews for all the action from Day 3 of Event #27: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better!
