Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
Chance Kornuth
Chance Kornuth

The five cards on the felt were {q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, and the big blind checked it to Chance Kornuth in the cutoff.

Kornuth pushed the remainder of his 19,000 stack in the middle, and his opponent took a few moments to consider.

With a pot of about 50,000, Kornuth showed nothing but a faint smile and that grin grew even bigger when the big blind finally called.

Kornuth casually turned over {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for the full house, and his opponent tapped the table before mucking and doubling up the two-time bracelet winner.

Heinzl Doesn't Throw In The Towel Just Yet

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

With a beach towel wrapped round his waist, Joshua Heinzl raised to 1,400 from early position. He was called in multiple spots, with middle position, the button and both of the blinds coming along for the ride.

The flop ran out {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and action checked to Heinzl. He led for 2,600, and the middle position player and the big blind both saw a turn with him.

The {6-Diamonds} on the turn was checked by the big blind, and Heinzl pushed the rest of his stack forward for 16,700. The middle position player tanked for a considerable time before eventually folding, leading to a sigh from the big blind. A slightly shorter tank later, and it was cards over as Heinzl was called.

Joshua Heinzl: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Big Blind: {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}

Heinzl was ahead with the flopped flush, but any pair on the board would see him eliminated.

The river came {8-Clubs} though, no help for his opponent, and Heinzl more than doubled up.

Mizrachi Making Moves

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Michael Mizrachi

There was around 30,000 in the middle, and Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi was in late position, heads up with a player under the gun.

Action was picked up on a board of {3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{q-Spades}, and Mizrachi over-bet the pot to 80,000 when his opponent checked the river.

After a few moments, the under-the-gun player reluctantly folded his hand. Mizrachi turned over just the {a-Hearts}. "This is the new Grinder", said Mizrachi, "See? I had the ace of hearts."

Mizrachi continued to smile as he stacked his chips.
