Zinno Shortens Garza

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

No-Limit Hold'em

Anthony Zinno raised to 30,000 in the cutoff and was called on the button by Ap Garza.

The flop came {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and both players checked. On the {6-Clubs} turn, Zinno placed two green T-25,000 chips forward and Garza called.

The river brought the {10-Clubs}, and once more Zinno bet, this time to the tune of 110,000, which was slightly more than a third of Garza's remaining stack.

Garza took a moment, then folded to preserve his chips.

Mizrachi Chops With Cates

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

Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo

Michael Mizrachi: {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Spades} / {2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Dan Cates: {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Spades} / {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

As of fourth street, Dan Cates bet with a pair of kings showing and was called by Michael Mizrachi. The same action repeated on fifth street and Mizrachi then check-called with his open two pair on sixth street. He then jokingly grabbed an entire stack of T-25,000 chips and splashed it in for a bet, instantly calling the raise by Cates.

Mizrachi showed the seven-low while Cates won the high portion with kings full.

Noori Runs Into a Patted Wheel

Level 13 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

David Williams three-bet to 105,000 preflop out of the small blind and Mike Noori called with what appeared to be some 350,000 behind. Williams patted and Noori took one for Williams to nearly instantly push all-in.

Only very few seconds passed for Noori to call and Williams jumped out of his seat to celebrate with a loud "let's go" while rolling over the {7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} for the wheel. Noori briefly showed his {8-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{3-} before quietly leaving the tournament area amid some gasps from the other players at the table.

"Poor Noori, man what the fuck," Matthew Gonzales concluded. He also pointed out that he had previously "finally won against these guys" as well.
