Seiver Busts Alibay

Ami Alibay check-called a bet of 2,900 on the board of {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{J-Spades} from Scott Seiver. The {J-Diamonds} paired the board on the river, and Alibay checked again. Seiver moved all in, and Alibay called off his last couple thousand.

Seiver turned over the {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for a full house to beat Alibay's {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} and eliminated him from the tournament.

Mizrachi Still on Cruise Control

Michael Mizrachi
Michael Mizrachi

We caught the action on a {4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{A-Clubs} flop when Sylvian Gonon bet 3,500 from the small blind and received a call from Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi in middle position. After the dealer had burned and turned the {K-Clubs}, Gonon moved all in for his last 13,775 and out the pressure on Mizrachi.

The three-time bracelet winner chatted up his opponent a bit and then tanked for a bit. He proceeded to do the old pretend-to-throw-in-a-chip trick, but after Gonon gave him nothing, The Grinder showed the {A-Spades} and then folded his hand.

Despite that small loss, Mizrachi is still the tournament chip leader with 140,000.

With a little over 2,000 in chips in the middle on the {K-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop, Dan Shak and Joe Kuether checked to Adrien Allain. Allain fired 1,025, but Shak fired back with a check-raise to 3,500. Kuether folded, then Allain gave it up, and Shak won the pot.

Losing to Ten High Not Such a Thrill for Failla

Will "The Thrill" Failla raised to 700 under the gun and was called by both blinds. Two checks on the {Q-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{A-Spades} flop put action on Failla, and he bet 1,525. Only Gael Duchesne called from the small blind and the {Q-Spades} turned.

Duchesne proceeded to check-call a bet of 2,000 before both players checked the {4-Clubs} river. Duchesne unconfidently showed {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a missed flush, but it was good as Failla double-checked his cards and sent them to the muck. "I missed," Failla admitted with a "I-should-have-bet-the-river" look on his face.
