Robert Mizrachi

Stud Hi-Lo

Robert Mizrachi: J9 / J94Xx / Xx All in
Nicolas Milgrom: 73 / 254Xx / Xx
Chris Brewer: XxXx / A810 - folded on fifth street

After losing much of his stack in a prior Stud high in which he had three queens and the nut heart draw on sixth, but lost to Brewer's heart flush, Mizrachi had become short-stacked.

Brewer completed, Mizrachi raised, Milgrom cold-called from the bring-in, and Brewer came along. Mizrachi bet on fourth after Brewer checked and both opponents called.

On fifth, it checked to Milgrom who bet, Brewer folded, Mizrachi raised all-in, and Milgrom called.

Mizrachi had two pair against the made low of Milgrom. Milgrom caught the 8 on sixth and he found the A on seventh to make a wheel, leaving Mizrachi in terrible shape.

The 2 he caught on sixth offered no help, but the flipped over the J on seventh, making a full house to survive in miraculous fashion.

One of the most prestigious bracelets of the summer is set to be awarded today in Event #54: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship. A total of 189 entries were tallied in this year's edition of the event, generating a prize pool of $1,757,700. However, just 11 players remain in contention for the bracelet and the first-place prize of $413,580.

The final 11 will return to the Paris Las Vegas at 1 p.m. today to play down to a winner.

Leading the way into the final day is Calvin Anderson (2,200,000), who took the chip lead for the first time on the final hand last night. He is just a few days removed from taking down the $10,000 Razz Championship, and he's looking to add a seventh bracelet to his poker resume.
