Michael Mizrachi opened the action from the cutoff position. The blinds called.

On the flop of 2♣Q♦5♥, Mizrachi continued his aggression with a bet of 400,000, which was met only by Kohei Arai’s check-call.

Both players chose to check on the turn, which brought the 5♣ to the board.

Arai attempted to regain control on the 3♥ river with a bet of 800,000. However, Mizrachi responded by going all-in, putting Arai at risk. Arai opted to snap-fold, conceding the pot to Mizrachi.

Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

After three all-in attempts since joining the table, Theo Tran moved in for a fourth time, this time from the button holding K♦10♠. Michael Mizrachi, in the big blind, called him with Q♣Q♦, putting Tran at risk.

The flop came 10♦3♦A♦, giving Tran a pair and some backdoor possibilities. The K♥ on the turn improved him to two pair, but with the board still not safe, Tran stayed cautious.

When the K♣ hit the river, there was no more doubt. Tran locked up the double with a full house and finally secured a much-needed boost to his stack.

Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Will Kassouf was having another heated discussion with tournament director Dennis Jones. "Alright, I'm all in," he said as he shoved for his last 3,500,000 in early position, going right back to arguing. The rest of the table folded and Kassouf showed A♠J♦.

"You call the clock on me after 30 seconds. I let the rest of you play an 11-minute hand. I don't call the clock once, because I'm not a little bitch like the rest of you," Kassouf told his tablemates. That comment made Jones hand him another one-round penalty, threatening to make it two rounds if he continued.

"Enjoy your one round. When I come back, you're all finished. God bless America," Kassouf shouted as he was escorted by security away from the table.

In the meantime, Adam Hendrix had opened to 800,000 in middle position with K♠J♦ and Kenny Hallaert called in the small blind.

Hendrix bet 800,000 on the J♥7♠3♣ flop and Hallaert called. Hendrix then bet 3,000,000 on the 2♥ turn, and Hallaert quickly folded K♦Q♣.
