On a flop the action was checked to the player on the button who bet 800. The player in the small blind called, as did Rifat Palevic from the cutoff.
The turn brought out the and it was checked to the button again. This time he threw out 2,650 and both players called.
"Pair the board!" the players on the button yelled sarcastically as the showed up. The small blind checked to Palevic who moved all in for 5,475. The button folded quickly, and the small blind called.
"Nuts," Palevic announced as he flipped up his . The small blind showed , and doubled up the Swede.
"I know that when the heart comes my hand is dead," Palevic said as he stacked his newly won chips. He's now well up over the starting stack.
It was just reported that Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi is next neighbors with Greg Merson at his table. This is interesting because both share the fact that they've made the World Series of Poker Main Event final table; Mizrachi in 2010 and Merson this year. On this hand, the two battled with Mizrachi taking the pot.
After one player checked the flop, Mizrachi fired 1,300. Merson called behind and then the first player folded. The turn was the and paired the board. Mizrachi checked and Merson bet 1,800. Mizrachi called.
The river card was the and Mizrachi checked. Merson fired 2,600 and Mizrachi check-raised enough to put Merson all in. With 6,300 left, Merson folded and Mizrachi won the pot. Mizrachi nearly has 100,000 in chips now.
Michael Mizrachi's table is conveniently located next to our press table, and we just saw another crazy hand with the two-time $50,000 Players Championship winner.
Mizrachi got two players all in holding . The biggest stack he was up against had 19,275 and showed , while the short stack showed . He was only in for 4,400 chips.
The board ran out and Mizrachi took down the whole pot with trip sevens. He did not seem to realize this at first as he was counting out a side pot. Mizrachi thought the short stack had made a flush, but this wasn't the case.
"Oh!?!? Scooper! Get these cards out of here!" Mizrachi laughed when he found out his trips were the winning hand. Mizrachi mucked both his opponents cards and raked in another big pot.
"Let's start gambling," Mizrachi said as the next hand got dealt. "Is this a one day event?" he added as the rest of the table cracked a smile. Mizrachi is on a tear with a huge lead over his nearest rival, Vladimir Troyanovskiy, who's on 32,000.
The former November Nine finalist has gotten another interesting opponent as Greg Merson, this year's October Nine finalist, was just moved to his table.
According to the clock we've only lost two players so far, but Michael Mizrachi already has more than four starting stacks in the second level of play.
The board just read when the four players involved all checked. On the turn the hit, and it was checked to Mizrachi again. He was in position against his opponents and bet pot: 1,600. Juha Helppi was in the small blind, and he re-raised pot to 6,400. The other two players folded quickly. Mizrachi put in the call creating heads-up river action.
On the river the hit, and Helppi checked. Mizrachi immediately flicked three 5,000-chips into the pot, putting Helppi at risk. The Finnish pro had only 6,900 left, and smiling Mizrachi took back one of the 5,000 chips.
Helppi tanked for minutes before asking his opponent, "Do you show a bluff when I fold?"
"I can't show," Mizrachi said, still smiling.
Eventually Helppi folded and Mizrachi turned over .
"Those are my worst ones!" Mizrachi said, as Helppi smiled and said that those cards might have been the best. Helppi is short, while Mizrachi is the clear cut chip leader.
Dori Yacoub is no stranger to big buy-in events, and his results have been pretty good as well. Back in 2010 Yacoub finished third in the €25,000 EPT High Roller for €358,000 and in 2011 he made the WPT Paris final. The value bet he just tried to make against Sam Chartier did not go particularly well thought.
The board read and Yacoub bet 3,200 into a pot worth around 4,500. Chartier went into the tank for a bit before raising it up to 8,600. Yacoub only needed a few seconds before turning over his and throwing them into the muck.
Chartier looked at his cards and flashed the . Moments later he also showed the remainder of the hand, , and Yacoub smiled. He was bluffed off a chopped pot by Charier who took down the pot.
David Baker just had a very painful river decision, judging by the expressions on his face. The board read when Baker's opponent had moved all in for 7,775. There was already 16,275 in the pot.
Baker took a couple of minutes, and eventually apologized to the other players at the table for taking so long. Finally the $2,500 8-Game bracelet winner folded leaving himself with half a starting stack.
