Stud Hi-Lo

Michael Mizrachi: / /
Daniel Weinman: / /

After three bets went in from Michael Mizrachi and Daniel Weinman on third street, the rest of Weinman's stack went in on fourth street and cards were turned over.

Both players received aces on fifth street to complete lows, with Weinman's best. Mizrachi failed to pair on seventh street meaning Weinman stood a chance of scooping.

The didn't give him a pair, but ace-queen high was good enough for the high and he scooped and stayed alive.

Mizrachi Adds to the Pot ... Literally

Level 14 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

After the first draw already completed, Michael Mizrachi bet 200,000 with slightly more than that behind. It sent Philip Sternheimer into the tank and both started chatting. Mizrachi was willing to wager $10,000 in cash that he had a wheel, while Sternheimer responded "I think you have a straight".

What followed was Mizrachi pulling out some $100 bills and promised toput them into the middle, suggesting that Sternheimer would win those too if he called and won the hand. More chatter followed and Mizrachi grabbed back into his pockets to add more bills to the equation which saw Adam Friedman raise his eyebrows.

"What? I am adding to the pot," Mizrachi said with a big grin on the face.

Sternheimer then proposed that his opponent would take a picture and ultimately folded for Mizrachi to indeed squeeze the cards on his knee and snap a shot with the words "I'll send it to you later". He collected the chips and pulled back the cash, too.

In the very next hand, Mizrachi and Michael Moncek discarded one. Mizrachi's bet of what appeared to be 80,000 was paid off as he won with a ten-seven.

Level 14 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

With one table to break after the next elimination, it was Anthony Zinno as one of the shorter stacks to run out of chips. In an Omaha Hi-Lo hand, he was all-in and at risk after the turn against Ap Garza according to both Garza and Ben Yu. Zinno's was marginally ahead versus Garza's but the latter rivered a straight and superior low on a runout.

Razz

Ap Garza: / folded on fifth
Ben Yu: / /
Bryn Kenney: / /

The game variant changed the very next hand as Koray Aldemir arrived in the seat of Zinno but wasn't dealt in yet. Bryn Kenney bet his lead against Yu and Garza with the latter folding on fifth street while Yu called up until sixth.

On seventh, Kenney check-called and Yu rolled over the for a wheel to scoop the pot.

On fifth, both players checked and Negreanu check-folded sixth to drop to an even shorter stack.
