Hand #72: Michael Mizrachi limped the button with 5♠2♦ and John Wasnock checked his K♠7♥ to the Q♠J♦10♣ flop, on which Wasnock led for 5,000,000 and won the pot right away.
Hand #73: Wasnock limped in with 10♠4♥ and Mizrachi raised to 7,500,000 with Q♠J♠. Wasnock folded.
Hand #74: Mizrachi limped J♦5♠ and Wasnock raised to 8,000,000 with another big hand in A♥Q♠. After checking his cards once more, Mizrachi folded.
Hand #75: Wasnock opened to 5,000,000 on the button holding 6♣5♠ and Mizrachi called with 9♠7♣ for the duo to see the Q♥J♠9♥ flop. Both checked to the A♣ turn, on which Mizrachi checked again, and Wasnock checked back. The river was the 7♥ and Mizrachi's bet of 9,000,000 won the pot uncontested.
Hand #76: Mizrachi raised to 6,000,000 with K♣6♠ and Wasnock called with his K♦2♣. The flop brought K♥8♦5♣ and both checked to the 4♥ turn, on which Wasnock bet 7,000,000 and Mizrachi called. The 7♦ followed on the river and Wasnock checked. Mizrachi fired a bet of 35,000,000 and was quickly called to win a substantial pot and reduce the stack of Wasnock to below twenty blinds.
