Parssinen fired another 350,000 on the turn, and this time Yanovsky released his hand, sending the pot to Parssinen.

Daniel Negreanu made it 110,000 to play from the cutoff and was looked up by Jamie Dwan in the big blind.
The flop came 5♣7♦3♦ and Dwan check-called Negreanu's 100,000 continuation-bet for the players to see the 9♦peel off on the turn.
The action went check, check and the dealer rolled off the K♦ as the river. Dwan led out for 90,000.
"Well, I was going to bet 200,000 so I guess you saved yourself some money!" joked Negreanu as he tossed in the call and tabled 7♥7♣ for a flopped set which had Dwan's 6♦6♥ crushed.

Michael Mizrachi won't be making history with back-to-back World Series of Poker Main Event victories.
The defending champion's title defense fizzled out on Day 5, where he was eliminated in 241st for $50,000. Mizrachi survived nearly five full days in poker's biggest tournament but couldn't recreate the remarkable run that ended with a $10 million payday 12 months ago.
Mizrachi, who navigated all ten days of the Main Event on his way to the world championship last summer, once again found himself among the survivors deep into Day 5. This time, however, his run was halted before the tournament's biggest payouts, ending any hopes of becoming the first player since Johnny Chan in 1987 and 1988 to successfully defend the WSOP Main Event title.
Fittingly, it would take a fellow Main Event champion to end The Grinder's run.

Tom Fuchs opened to 100,000 from the cutoff before Zachary Grech three bet to 600,000 on the button, leaving himself with around 175,000 behind. Timur Margolin then moved all in from the small blind, forcing Fuchs to fold. Grech called off his remaining chips, and the players went to showdown.
Zachary Grech: A♠Q♠
Timur Margolin: 9♣9♥
The flop came 6♠10♦9♦, giving Margolin a set while Grech picked up a straight draw. However, neither the K♦ turn nor the 7♦ river improved Grech, and he was sent to the rail.

With 300,000 in the pot the flop of 7♣6♣4♦ was fanned out by the dealer.
Daniel Negreanu bet out for 275,000 from the big blind and Naoya Kihara made the call from middle position.
"Are you ever going to raise? You never raise ever!" joked Negreanu to Kihara.
"It's too late now! All in!" continued Negreanu as the dealer peeled off the 5♦ as the turn.
"I have no idea what he has, no idea at all! You could give me 20 guesses and I still wouldn't get it!" exclaimed Negreanu.
"I don't think I can fold this hand now" came Kihara's response as he tossed in his remaining 300,000 or so into the pot.
Naoya Kihara: K♣Q♣
Daniel Negreanu: 9♥9♠
No club, queen, or king came for Kihara on the brick of a river and he was sent to the rail.
On another table Stephen Chidwick was also sent packing.

Punnat Punsri opened to 100,000 from under the gun before action folded to Josef Schusteritsch in the big blind, who three-bet to 750,000. Punsri then moved all in for 1,295,000, and Schusteritsch made the call.
Punnat Punsri: A♠K♦
Josef Schusteritsch: K♣Q♦
The board ran out 7♥Q♣A♣10♦, giving Schusteritsch additional outs after pairing his queen and picking up a straight draw. However, the A♥ river paired the board, improving Punsri to trips aces and earning him a full double-up.

Heads up to the flop of K♥7♦K♠ with about 300,000 sat in the pot, Chris Brewer checked from the big blind to Timur Margolin on the button who bet out for 70,000. Brewer then check-raised to 205,000 only for Margolin to re-raise to 430,000. Brewer tanked for a while and then moved all in for 625,000. Margolin didn't like it but he made the call.
Chris Brewer: A♠7♠
Timur Margolin: A♣J♦
No help came for Margolin on the 9♠ turn and when the 10♠ peeled off on the river and gave Brewer an unnecessary flush he was sent the pot for a double-up.

Daniel Rezaei opened from under the gun and was called by Thomas Boivin in early position.
On the 8♥9♣4♦ flop, Rezaei checked and called Boivin's bet of 80,000.
Rezaei checked again on the 10♦ turn, and Boivin continued for 325,000. Rezaei made the call once more.
The K♦ completed the board, and after Rezaei checked for a third time, Boivin fired 725,000. Rezaei used two time bank cards before eventually folding, sending the pot to Boivin.
