Persaud good they named him Nik
There was one limper before Nik Persaud raised. The gent on the button called, as did the limper, and they saw a flop. The limper checked, and Persaud fiddled around with his chips for a while before betting 4,400. Mr. Button called, Mr. Limper passed, and they were heads up to the turn.
Persaud now checked to his opponent, who bet 5,500. A pause from Persaud, a call, and they proceeded to the river. Two checks, and Mr. Button turned over an unexpected for a flush; Persaud looked sadly down at his pocket before throwing them, rather violently, back at the dealer.

Tom "Durrrr" Dwan has been a raising machine as of late, opening multiple pots in a row. He seems to take down the pot every time he makes a continuation bet, and although currently only at 22,000, he has added nicely to his stack over the past few orbits.

Michael Mizrachi
Over on the secondary feature table, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi has been eliminated.
He had been below average stack-wise all day, and just now got it all in with a straight flush draw against an opponent who had king-jack on a king-high flop. The turn and river didn't help Mizrachi, and he hit the rail.
Mizrachi's spot at the table has been taken by Paul "X-22" Magriel, who currently has 24,000. We imagine he is fully aware that represents an "M" of just over 15.
