Hands #8-11: Mizrachi Takes it to the Streets Against Hallaert; Dunaway Getting Loose
Hand #8: First to act, John Wasnock raised to 3,200,000 with 6♣5♣ and Braxton Dunaway called in the big blind holding Q♥4♠ as they headed to the A♥7♣6♦ flop. The check by Dunaway brought a near instant bet from Wasnock for 4,400,000, and he claimed the pot right there as Dunaway folded.
Hand #9: Michael Mizrachi picked up 2♥2♦ and raised to 3,300,000 from under the gun. Luka Bojovic then three-bet to 9,300,000 from the very next seat with A♠Q♣. The action folded back to Mizrachi and he briefly glanced at the stack of his neighbour before making the call, which created a pot of 22,600,000 going to the A♦K♥4♥ flop.
Mizrachi quickly checked and Bojovic made it 4,500,000 to go, which won the pot without any further resistance as Mizrachi let his deuces go. Chants from the Austrian rail could be heard throughout the entire Horseshoe Event Center.
Hand #10: Kenny Hallaert made it 3,500,000 to go from the cutoff with K♥7♦ and found a customer in Mizrachi out of the big blind holding A♣3♣, as they headed to the 9♣8♥2♦ flop. Mizrachi checked and Hallaert bet 3,200,000, sending "The Grinder" into the tank. After fiddling with his chips for a while, Mizrachi called with his ace-high.
The turn brought an 8♦, where Mizrachi elected to lead out for 4,600,000, and Hallaert folded.
Hand #11: Hallaert raised it up in the next hand to 3,500,000 with Q♠J♠ in the hijack. He found resistance once more as Dunaway three-bet to 8,800,000 in the cutoff with 7♥3♥ and the trio of players behind all folded. Back to Hallaert, he gave it some consideration and eventually folded.
