Level 6

The Reigning Champ is Ground to Dust

Level 6
Michael Mizrachi
Michael Mizrachi

Razz

After tangling in a Razz pot with Chino Rheem, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi found himself down to about 20,000 and played a pot against Brad Ruben, getting all of his chips in on fifth street.

Michael Mizrachi: Ax4x / Jx7x2x All in
Brad Ruben: 8x3x / 10x2x6x

Mizrachi paired up a pair on seventh street with a 7x as Ruben also paired up with a 3x. Ruben was then dealt the Kx on seventh street as the reigning champ turned over a Qx to be sent to the rail in the final level of the day.

"Say goodbye to the cameras," said Chino Rheem as the half-dozen-deep camera crew rolled away with the recently busted champion.

Choi Jams into Vitch's Ace-Queen

Level 5

No-Limit Hold'em

It folded to Kevin Choi on the button who open-jammed for 60,500, and Christopher Vitch snap-called in the big blind.

Kevin Choi: A3 All in
Christopher Vitch: AQ

Choi was in rough shape and it became dire on the QJ4 flop. He was drawing dead on the A turn, and the 9 river was a mere formality as he exited shortly before the break.

Dave Rogers: A9 All in

Field Keeps Growing as Ausmus Exits

Level 4

Ausmus Doubles Through Vieira, Who Then Busts to Blom

Level 4
Joao Vieira
Joao Vieira

Pot-Limit Omaha

On a flop of J32, Joao Vieira led for 15,000 from the big blind, and Jeremy Ausmus called from under the gun after he limp-called Vieira's pot raise preflop, bringing the pot size to around 55,000.

The turn was the K as Vieira potted, Ausmus was all in for 62,000, and Vieira called.

Jeremy Ausmus: JJ77 All in
Joao Vieira: AAJ5

Ausmus flopped a set of jacks but Vieira had a gutter and two aces available. However, the river was the 10 and Ausmus doubled.

The next hand, Viktor Blom had opened second-to-act before Joao Vieira potted from the small blind, and Blom called.

On the 875 flop, Vieira jammed for his final 54,000 and Blom called.

Joao Vieira: AAQ3 All in
Viktor Blom: QQJ10

Vieira was in good shape against the queens and gutter of Blom. The 3 turn added no additional outs, but the river was the 9, and Blom made his straight to send Vieira to the rail, in what was a reminder in how brutal aces can be in this game.

Glantz Rivers Seiver in Largest Pot of Tournament

Level 4
Scott Seiver
Scott Seiver

Pot-Limit Omaha

After four limps of the original 2,500, Matt Glantz potted to 15,000 in the big blind, and five players would go on to see the K63 flop with 80,000 in the middle.

Glantz led for 75,000 on the flop, Scott Seiver potted to 305,000 under the gun, and the other players all quickly folded. Glantz asked for the rest, and Seiver called all in for about 385,000 total.

Scott Seiver: AK106 All in
Matt Glantz: AKJ10

Seiver held top two pair with the nut club blocker, while Glantz had top pair with a flush draw, and the jack was the only clean two-pair out for Glantz.

All the players anxiously stood over the table as the 4 turn changed nothing. However, the 10 would land on the river, giving Glantz the flush to send Seiver to the rail.

At another table, Robert Mizrachi was also eliminated.
