Big Friendly Pot Between Azor and Mizrachi

"We are friends, I'll show him," Ran Azor just said after he beat Michael Mizrachi out of a very big pot. Mizrachi took a massive early chip lead, but Azor has taken over control. He's now well into triple digits.

The board read {2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} when Mizrachi bet 10,000. Azor raised it up to 30,000 and Mizrachi went into the tank for a long time.

"Aces with the nut flush draw on the turn?" Mizrachi asked himself before eventually laying his {J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{x-}{x-} down.

Azor showed the {A-Diamonds}, and Padraig Parkinson responded that everyone knew he had that card.

"He was bluffing," Erich Kollmann said. "I had the queen-high flush myself."

Azor wasn't done showing his cards and also turned over the {4-Diamonds} and the {A-Hearts}. Mizrachi got shown what he thought his opponent had, and saved himself some chips. Both players are still the biggest in the room, and Azor jokingly said that they needed their own table to play at.

Tilly Gone

Jennifer Tilly just made her way to the exit after losing his final chips. Earlier we saw her get knocked down after having to fold in a big pot versus Ran Azor, but unfortunately we did not catch her bust out hand.

After Tilly's elimination there are still 70 players remaining out of the 93 that have signed up so far. Late registrations is open for another hour and 40 minutes.

Fitoussi Cracks Aces

Three players saw a {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} with already around 8,500 chips in the middle. Pascal Leyo was in the small blind, and he bet 9,200. Bruno Fitoussi quickly moved all in, and Rifat Palevic folded in position. Leyo called off his remaining chips and heads up they went to showdown.

Showdown:
Pascal Leyo: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{K-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Bruno Fitoussi: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Spades}

The turn brought out the {Q-Clubs} and the river the {2-Spades} giving Fitoussi the winning hand. Leyo was eliminated, and Fitoussi now has a very comfortable stack.
