Day: 1b
The turn brought the but the river was the making Mizrachi quads as he eliminated the other player and doubled up through Thew.
Mizrachi is up to 120,000 while Thew slips to 68,000.
He raised to 1,100 only for the gent to his left to shove for 5,100. The gent to his left flatted with 50,000 behind, and Boeken called too.
Flop:
Now the gent with 50,000 behind put all of those 50,000 chips in the middle. Boeken was, obviously, holding and called. The hapless post-flop shover turned over aces, the hapless preflop shover turned over , and that was the end of it.
Mr. Luis Ramon Rufas Acin (so good they named him four times!) was last seen calling a preflop raise to 1,500 but then folding and wearily rubbing his eyes when the original raiser bet out on the flop.
Nevertheless, even after that he is in possession of 120,000 and well in contention for the lead at this time.
The bulk of the chips went in on the river, the board reading .
Check out these hands:
Kravchenko:
Mr. Opponent:
The luckless Kravchenko is down to just 3,500 and, barring miraculous recoveries, is not long for this tournament.
Thorson:
Houghton:
Turn: to give Thorson the straight
River: to harmlessly improve Thorson's straight
Houghton slips down to 30,000, while Thorson enjoys a full a full double up to around 25,000.
Demidov dips to 30,000.
Martin Wendt raised under the gun and Negreanu and one other player called. Over to Lex Veldhuis in the big blind, who reraised to 5,100. Negreanu was the only caller.
They saw a flop and Veldhuis bet out 7,100. After some brief and silent deliberation, Negreanu folded.
