Robert Mizrachi and Nick Schulman have been going after each other all day, both verbally and on the felt. Things came to a head on a flop, where they got three bets in. After the turn put a low on the board, Mizrachi fired again. Schulman raised him, and Mizrachi called all in.
Showdown
Mizrachi:
Schulman:
Mizrachi held a nine-high flush and an 8-5-4-3-A low. But he was drawing dead to Schulman's nut flush and nut low. Schulman took out his nemesis in 17th place and built his own stack to 610,000.
Down to 16, the rest of the field has paused to redraw to the final two tables.
Michael Chow: (X-X) / / (X)
Carlos Mortensen: (X-X) / / (X)
Brandon Adams: (X-X) / / (X)
There was already nearly 200,000 in the middle when Carlos Mortensen bet out on sixth street. Brandon Adams raised him, and after playing the previous streets passively, Michael Chow tanked, then three-bet. Both his opponents were visibly surprised, but paid for one more card. It checked around on seventh, and Show turned over for aces and sevens. "One time," he said quietly as the other two squeezed their cards. Mortensen mucked, and Adams let out a slow breath before following suit.
Chow scooped the massive pot, moving from fairly short to 530,000. Mortensen fell to 270,000 and was forced to dip into the top tiers of his chip sculpture. And Brandon Adams is down to 200,000.
Robert Mizrachi doesn't seem to have many fans at his table. At the start of a stud hand, he stopped the dealer and told her that the way she was holding the deck, he could see the bottom card. The rest of the table didn't believe him and told her to keep dealing. The floor was called over, and Mizrachi told them he'd seen an ace while everyone else said he was just trying to stall.
"I think he's just full of it," Nick Schulman said. "I'm the f*#^king bring in, and I'm fighting this."
In the end, the floor decided they had to kill the hand and start over, and asked the dealer to handle the deck more carefully. Still, they suggested Mizrachi "stop costing us time." The grumbling continued well into the next hand. "I see a nine of diamonds in the middle of the deck," Schulman said. "Better redeal."
The courageous run of Scotty Nguyen has come to an end with his elimination in 19th place. Nguyen was all in on third street against Carlos Mortensen with the boards running out as follows:
Nguyen: () / / ()
Mortensen: () / / ()
Mortensen made a seventy-six low and Nguyen bricked out to send the Prince to the rail in 19th place. Mortensen has created one of his famous chip tower structures, so it's rather difficult to count at the moment, but we'll guess around 500,000.
