Level 41 : 1,000,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Hand #79: John Wasnock raised to 5,000,000 on the button and Michael Mizrachi called.

Both players checked the A♦9♣7♣ flop. Mizrachi also checked the 4♣ turn and Wasnock bet 10,000,000.

Mizrachi then waved to his rail to begin cheering as he stood up, pointed upwards, and raised to 30,000,000. Wasnock instantly moved all in for 70,500,000, and Mizrachi called just as fast.

Wasnock showed A♠9♦ for two pair, but Mizrachi had 10♣3♣ for a flush. Wasnock needed to fill up on the river to prolong the Main Event, but he missed the 5♣ and Mizrachi secured the world championship.

Hand #61: John Wasnock folded his button and Michael Mizrachi moved all in from the small blind. Braxton Dunaway called for his last 23,000,000 in the big blind.

Braxton Dunaway: 10♥6♥ All in
Michael Mizrachi: A♦10♦

Mizrachi had Dunaway dominated and was poised to collect a knockout for the second straight hand. The Q♦4♦K♣ flop gave him an even bigger lead with the nut flush draw. The 4♠ turn left Dunaway looking for only two outs on the river, but he missed as the 3♦ made Mizrachi his flush to send Dunaway to the rail in third place.

Mizrachi and Wasnock are taking a short break while the table is prepared for the start of heads-up action.

Michael Mizrachi	491,000,000 25,500,000	25,500,000

John Wasnock	93,500,000 1,000,000	1,000,000

Level 41 : 1,000,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Hand #60: In the very first hand of the day, Kenny Hallaert pushed all in first to act for 19,000,000 and it folded to Michael Mizrachi in the big blind. He peeked at his cards for a brief moment and then snap-called.

Kenny Hallaert: A♥Q♣ All in
Michael Mizrachi: K♦J♦

The 10♠5♠4♠ flop changed nothing, but the J♣ turn vaulted Mizrachi in the lead. Hallaert needed a queen, king, or ace to double up, otherwise he would be out. The 9♠ river did bring another seat open in the very first hand, just like on the previous day.

Hallaert bowed out in fourth place for $3,000,000 and Mizrachi extended his lead over his final two opponents.
