Mirzikinian No More

Level 4 : 300/600, 0 ante

Brandon Shack-Harris has recovered his stack to get back up to more than half the starting stack while Charles Lehr was moved tables that includes recent sign-up Davidi Kitai and Daniel Alaei.

Tommy Le had barely sat down when the dealer announced a seat open. It was not Le that busted, but rather Warwick Mirzikinian. Le got the chips and admitted that he "got lucky" to bust Mirzikinian.

Drinan Chips up Quickly

Level 3 : 250/500, 0 ante

Moments after Connor Drinan sat down, he entered a pot with Iraj Parvizi. The flop was {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Drinan bet 3,000. Parvizi check-called, bringing the {j-Hearts} on the turn.

Drinan fired again and his Parvizi check-called the bet of 12,000. The {a-Hearts} completed the board on the river and Drinan bet 31,000. Parvizi check-called once more and mucked when Drinan tabled {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{7-Hearts} for jacks full.

Huntress Jams Up Stack

Level 3 : 250/500, 0 ante

On the three-way flop of {9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, Michael Huntress bet 5,700 on the button and Jan-Peter Jachtmann called before the player in the cutoff raised to 21,100. Huntess called, as did Jachtmann, and the trio headed to the {5-Diamonds} turn. The action checked to Huntress, who bet 27,300.

Only the player in the cutoff called before checking again the {J-Spades} river. Huntress moved all in and that won the pot uncontested.
