Mizrachi Busts Two; Sturm Five-Bet Jams

Christian Zetzsche

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Michael Mizrachi in the big blind and Richard Buckingham from an early position tangled in a preflop all-in with nearly identical stack sizes and Mizrachi vaulted out of his chair while motioning to his nearby rail.

Richard Buckingham: 4♦4♣ All in
Michael Mizrachi: Q♦Q♣

The suits were covered and Buckingham found no escape on the 9♥7♦3♠10♥J♦ runout. Both stacks were counted and the 5.5 million of Buckingham were covered by only a few blinds.

Soon after, Dillon Ott pushed all in for around 3,100,000 and Mizrachi called in the next seat.

Dillon Ott: A♦K♦ All in
Michael Mizrachi: Q♦Q♥

The pocket pair held and made a flush on the 7♥6♥2♣4♥9♥ board to score the next knockout.

In the meanwhile, Kohei Arai raised to 300,000 and Leon Sturm three-bet to 750,000. Yong Han cold four-bet to 1,600,000 in the big blind for Arai to reluctantly fold. Sturm five-bet jammed and Han folded.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Hieu Le jammed his final 825,000 into the middle from middle position and Chad Power called from the cutoff to try and bust him.

Hieu Le: K♠8♠ All in
Chad Power: A♠Q♣

Lee was behind versus Power's ace-queen, and moved even further behind on the A♦Q♦8♦ flop as Power improved to two pair. Le couldn't find one of the two remaining eights in the deck on the 3♥ turn or J♦ river. Le silently made his way to the payout desk, while Power moved up to almost twenty million chips.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Stefan Nemetz raised to 300,000 in the cutoff and Matija Kajtez moved all in for 2,800,000 on the button. Mounir Tajiou folded in the small blind, later saying he had two tens, while Nemetz called.

Matija Kajtez: A♦Q♣ All in
Stefan Nemetz: K♥K♠

"Yes! That's why I'm me and you're you," Tajiou yelled out as he ran towards the rail. The flop, though, came 10♠4♥4♠ and would've given him a full house.

"I don't give a f**k. I made my decision before that," he said. The rest of the board came 5♠Q♥ and Nemetz's kings stayed in the lead to send Kajtez to the rail.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Paul Gibbons made it 300,000 from middle position and Corey Skogrand shoved for 1,200,000 from the small blind. Gibbons took a few moments, then slid in the call to put Skogrand at risk.

Corey Skogrand: A♥Q♠ All in
Paul Gibbons: A♠9♠

Skogrand had Gibbons dominated heading to the 10♠5♠A♣ flop, where both players hit top pair, but Gibbons picked up a flush draw. The 8♥ turn was safe for Skogrand, but the J♠ river gave Gibbons the nut flush. Gibbons raked in the pot, while Skogrand headed to the rail.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Eric Afriat raised to 250,000 under the gun and Bruno Furth called in early position. Benjamin Williams then moved all in for 1,400,000 from middle position and both opponents called.

The flop came Q♦3♦2♥ and Afriat bet 1,000,000. Furth called and the 9♥ fell on the turn. Afriat then bet 3,000,000 and Furth moved all in for 8,140,000.

Afriat took a moment before calling, creating a pot worth more than 20,000,000. Williams showed A♣A♥, Furth had Q♣Q♥ for top set, while Afriat had J♦10♦ for straight and flush draws.

The river was the K♠ to give Afriat his straight and the massive pot. "I'm so sorry," he told Furth, embracing his defeated opponent before going off to celebrate with his rail as he climbed up near 30,000,000.

"I had my lucky masseuse with me. I just felt lucky," Afriat said after the hand.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

In three-way action to the 4♦2♦2♣ flop, Nadav Barash bet 320,000 when checked to and Rahul Deevara then raised to 825,000 in the hijack. The action folded back to Barash who called and then jammed the 9♣ turn, Deevara called all-in for around 1,650,000.

Rahul Deevara: A♦5♦ All in
Nadav Barash: 7♥7♦

Barash was ahead with his sevens and deuces while Deevara had a gutshot straight flush draw. The many outs never came on the K♠ river and Deevara was eliminated just before the break.

Tim Baker

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Paul Gibbons raised from the hijack to 275,000 and Colin Robinson jammed for 1,635,000 from the cutoff. Mark Shutley moved all in over the top for 1,820,000 from the small blind, and Gibbons called to put both players at risk.

Colin Robinson: A♦J♦ All in
Mark Shutley: 10♠10♣ All in
Paul Gibbons: Q♠Q♦

Gibbons currently had the best hand with pocket queens and could send two players home just before the final break of Day 6.

The dealer delivered an action flop of 3♦10♦5♥ to put Shutley in the lead with a set of tens, and provide Robinson with a flush draw. A card was burned, and then the Q♥ revealed itself on the turn, propelling Gibbons back into the lead with a set of queens. The J♠ river was a brick and Gibbons dragged in the pot, sending Robinson and Shutley to the rail.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Hans Bosman bet 250,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 9♣2♥2♦ and Kyle Grupp raised to 600,000 in the big blind. Bosman called and the 4♥ fell on the turn.

Grupp then bet 650,000, but this time Bosman came back with an all-in shove for 3,015,000. Grupp again spent several minutes in the tank, but the clock didn't have to be called this time and he stuck in the chips to put Bosman at risk.

"You're good," Bosman told him, showing A♥K♣ for just ace-high. Grupp turned over Q♥9♥ for two pair and a flush draw, and the J♠ fell on the river to send Bosman to the rail.

"Why do they put me in these spots?" Grupp said as he raked in the pot
