Mizrachi: (X) (X) / 
Heimiller: (X) (X) / 
On the last hand before the break, Michael Mizrachi caught the bring-in and called Dan Heimiller's completion bet. Heimiller bet the lead on fourth street, but was facing a bet from Mizrachi on fifth street. The amount of the bet, 30,000, was exactly how much Heimiller had left in his stack. He tanked for about a minute before folding.
An interesting hand has gone down leaving Men Nguyen to take in a big pot and leaving both Michael Mizrachi and Brandon Adams scratching their heads.
Cassidy: (X-X) / 
Mizrachi: (X-X) / 
Adams: (X-X) / 
Nguyen: (X-X) / 
Joe Cassidy called the bring-in of Dan Heimiller before Mizrachi completed the action. Adams, Nguyen and Cassidy all made the call. On fourth, Mizrachi led out before Adams raised. Nguyen quickly made it three bets and Cassidy stepped aside. Mizrachi made the call. Adams deliberated for some time before deciding against getting caught in the middle as he folded.
On fifth street, Nguyen paired up and bet out causing Mizrachi to fold. After the hand Nguyen claimed to be holding 
for a full house but we're not so sure if Mizrachi believes him!
Cassidy: (X) (X) /

Mizrachi: (X) (X) /

An open pair of treys for Michael Mizrachi on sixth street was bad news for Joe Cassidy. Cassidy completed third street and was called by Mizrachi. After that, Cassidy played his hand very cautiously, check-calling fourth street and calling every street after that when Mizrachi grabbed the beating lead. At the river, Mizrachi checked. Cassidy squeezed his river card extremely slowly, then checked behind. Mizrachi opened 
to take the pot with tens and treys.
Mizrachi is up to 490,000 now. Cassidy has slipped back to 308,000.
Brandon Adams - 845,000
Nikolay Evdakov - 840,000
Vladimir Schmelev - 820,000

Michael Mizrachi - 355,000
Joe Cassidy - 345,000
Sirious Jamshidi - 230,000
Dan Heimiller - 130,000
Dan Heimiller is the short stack of this final table but he's fighting hard as he just took down back-to-back pots to keep his head above water.
In the first Heimiller just called the bring-in with the and then took it down with a bet with the 
on fourth street. He flashed 
in the hole.
Next hand, Joe Cassidy completed with the and Heimiller called with the 
. Cassidy bet again on fourth before asking for a count on fifth.
Cassidy: (X-X) / 
Heimiller: (X-X) /
Heimiller had 47,000 behind and so Cassidy checked over to his opponent who gave a shrug before betting. Cassidy sat in the tank for a good minute or two.
"He must have overcards and is wondering which pair I got..." pondered Heimiller. Cassidy eventually folded and Heimiller flashed in the hole. Heimiller is now up to 130,000.
Jamshidi: (X) (X) /

There's nothing like the nut full house to ease the frustrations of a stack on a downward slide -- even better when it gets paid off. Sirious Jamshidi got things started by completing on third street. He was called by Michael Mizrachi, Men Nguyen and bring-in Steve Billirakis. On fourth street, Mizrachi and Billirakis dropped out after Jamshidi bet and Nguyen raised.
Nguyen made open fours on fifth street and bet every street the rest of the way. Jamshidi called all the way to showdown. He flashed two pair, kings and jacks, after Nguyen opened his aces full.
Jamshidi is down to 184,000 while Nguyen climbs to 360,000.
Michael Mizrachi was the bring-in with the . Brandon Adams completed and Men Nguyen was the lone caller. Adams fired another bet on fourth, but when he paired his ace on fifth, Nguyen angrily tossed his cards into the muck.
Adams: (X-X)
Nguyen: (X-X) 
Nguyen's anger didn't end there as he let out his frustrations on one of the cocktail waitresses. "I said no ice! Bring me another one!" exclaimed Nguyen as he slips to 190,000 chips. Adams is up to 670,000.
