The turn was the and it was checked to Hoang again. He went all in for just 5,100 and Mizrachi opted to raise pot to 39,100. Gerin gave it some thought, but ended up folding after all.
Mizrachi showed for a straight and was up against . Hoang needed a six or a three in order to stay alive, but the river was the .
"Alright, good game," Mizrachi said immediately while Hoang took one final look at the board. He did not catch up and was knocked out. Mizrachi is in the lead with just 22 players remaining and a bracelet in back-to-back WSOPE seasons looks to be in the making!
