Hand #167 - Vladimir Schmelev

Michael Mizrachi raises the button to 245,000 and Vladimir Schmelev makes the call.

The flop fell {4-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Schmelev checks to Mizrachi who fires 275,000. Schmelev quickly check-raises to 600,000, before Mizrachi re-raises another 350,000 on top. These guys are playing fast! Schmelev makes the call.

The turn is the {10-Hearts} and Schmelev checks to Mizrachi who bets 500,000. Schmelev wastes no time in calling as the river lands the {K-Hearts}. Both players check it down. Mizrachi shows the {4-Diamonds} but Schmelev tables {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for the best hand.

The Russian has all the momentum here as the Mizrachi crew feel this one slipping away.

Hand #166 - Michael Mizrachi

Vladimir Schmelev has the button and opens for 245,000. Mizrachi makes the call.

The flop is {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and both players check. The turn is the {10-Diamonds} and Mizrachi leads out for 275,000. Schmelev slides a tall stack of 25,000-denomination chips out, tipping them over as he makes it 775,000. Mizrachi quickly calls. Both players check the {5-Spades} on the river.

Mizrachi shows {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for a pair of tens, besting Schmelev's pair of sevens with {J-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

Hand #163 - Michael Mizrachi

Michael Mizrachi raises the button to 245,000 and Vladimir Schmelev makes the call in the big blind.

The flop is {Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Schmelev checks to Mizrachi who bets 300,000. Schmelev just won't go away as he quickly calls.

The turn brings the {3-Hearts} and Schmelev checks again to Mizrachi. This time his bet of 500,000 gets some respect as Schmelev gives it up.

Hand #161 - Vladimir Schmelev

Michael Mizrachi limps the button before Vladimir Schmelev raises it 290,000. Mizrachi makes the call.

The flop arrives {J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{J-Spades} and Schmelev bets 300,000. Mizrachi makes the call. The turn is the {7-Clubs} and Schmelev checks over to Mizrachi who fires 500,000. Schmelev defiantly plonks a stack into the middle to make the call.

On the {K-Spades} river, again Schmelev checks and then instantly calls the 600,000-chip bet from Mizrachi.

"Ace-high..." sighs Mizrachi as Schmelev shows {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for trip jacks to take down another huge pot to muffled applause from the Russians in the outer.
