Joe Hachem, the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event champion, was down to under 2,000 in chips before moving all in from under the gun plus one for 1,950 after Ran Azor had limped in from the first position.
Following Hachem's shove, Erich Kollmann called from the hijack seat, Jan-Peter Jachtmann called from the small blind and Micah Smith called from the big blind. Azor also made the call and the action was five ways to the flop, with four of the five players still active.
The flop came down 
and action checked around to see the 
pair the board on the turn. Jachtmann bet 5,000 and everyone folded, leaving him heads up with Hachem.

Hachem was behind going to the river, but when the 
fell, he jumped back in front to win the pot and stay alive. With a shrug Hachem said, "I'll take it," as he quintupled up to nearly 10,000 in chips. Welcome back, Hachem.

Another hand, another episode of the Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi show. That's just how this event has been going. In this segment, Mizrachi busted Ben Roberts, the longtime English pro.
Erich Kollmann started things off with a raise from under the gun to 1,100. Roberts reraised from the next seat to 4,000 and action folded to Mizrachi in the big blind. He called, as did Kollmann.
The flop came down 
and Mizrachi led for 4,100. Kollmann folded, but Roberts reraised all in for around 10,000. Mizrachi beat him into the pot.
"I've got a pair and a straight draw," said Mizrachi while revealing the 
. Roberts then turned up the 
for a pair of aces and blockers to Mizrachi's straight draw.
The turn was the before the river completed the board with the 
. The river four gave Mizrachi a full house and he was able to win the pot to eliminate Roberts.
With that pot, Mizrachi moved himself back into the chip lead.
