[Removed:532] opened from the button, and John Duthie flatted from the big blind to see the flop come 
. Duthie let [Removed:550] fire a 1,300-chip continuation bet, then opted to check-raise to 4,600. [Removed:550] wasn't done just yet, though, and he moved all-in. Duthie, with that what-can-I-do? look on his face, folded.

Just before their table was broken, Sam Cohen and Michael Mizrachi clashed.
It started ordinarily, as Mizrachi opened to 1,325 from the hijack. Cohen defended her big blind with a call, and the flop came 
. Cohen checked, and Mizrachi bet 1,000. Cohen decided to check-raise, making it 3,600 to go. The next actions followed in the blink of an eye. Mizrachi instantly said, "All in," and Cohen called within a second.

Mizrachi still had outs to draw for a bigger two pair, and he got a whole lot more options to scoop the pot when the 
hit the felt on the turn. However, it wasn't meant to be for Mizrachi this time, as the river bricked. Cohen's double-up was worth 15,050.
The racks landed on the table shortly thereafter, and the players moved their chips to new seats.
Philipp Zukernik raised to 1,300 and called the three-bet of Valentin Vornicu from one seat over to 3,000 in total. On a flop of 
, Tsukernik check-raised all in for 13,000 with the 
and Vornicu called with 
for top pair.
While the 
on the turn failed to improve Zukernik and took away an out, the 
on the river completed a flush and the four-man team doubled.
After a raise to 1,700, Christopher Back three-bet shoved out of the big blind for 10,575 with 
. "Is that an all in?" the initial raiser asked, and once confirmed, he snap-called and tabled 
.
Back got there on the 
flop, only to see the nightmare 
turn follow right after. Only one out was left in the deck, and the 
river gave Back quads and drew a gasp from the entire table.

Brian Pinkus has been in charge of his table recently and moved right into the big stack zone before just dropping a pot to Mikel Unanue. Joining the action on the 
turn, Unanue checked from under the gun, and Pinkus bet 2,100 from one seat over. Unanue check-raised all in for 8,500, and Pinkus eventually called.

The 
river was of no help for Pinkus, and the sudden rise took a small hit.
It's common knowledge that Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi isn't a tight player by any means. Mizrachi doesn't care who he faces, he just does what he does. And not many players can match Mizrachi's abilities to apply pressure. He just proved it once again in a pot that involved nine-time WSOP Circuit winner Valentin Vornicu.
The two tangled in one of the traditional button-versus-big-blind battles. Mizrachi was in position with the betting lead, and he kept firing all the way through the 
board. Vornicu check-called 1,200 on the flop, then check-called another 3,500 on the turn. On the river, though, Mizrachi pulled out the third barrel worth 8,000. Vornicu spent some time thinking, but eventually let it go. He still has a big stack, and so does Mizrachi.
