Mizrachi Over 100k

Facing a raise to 825 from early position, Robert Mizrachi made it 2,250 from the cutoff only to have an opponent from the big blind four-bet to 4,875.

The original raiser folded and Mizrachi smooth-called to see a {8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop fall. Taking his time, the big blind fired out a bet of 6,375 only to have Mizrachi instantly move all in. The big blind made the call for roughly 21,000 and we were off to a showdown.

Mizrachi: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Opponent: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The turn and river landed the {9-Hearts} and {6-Diamonds} to see Mizrachi eliminate his opponent and climb over the 100,000-chip mark.

Shirt of the Day

"That's right! Jerry Yang! Praise the Lord!" the gray-haired man called out to his hero, ensconced in the seven seat at the orange section featured table.

This particular gentleman took fandom to a whole other level, donning an official "O Praise Jesus '07 WSOP Champion Jerry Yang Fan Club" bowling shirt.

Seriously. We're not making this stuff up.

Gray Back in the Black

The player under the gun raised to 750, and Jason Gray called next door. A player in middle position called as well, and the three of them took a flop of {J-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}. The aggressor continued his trend with a follow-up bet of 1,300, and Gray stuck in a raise to 3,700. The monkey in the middle folded, and under the gun called to see another card.

It was the {2-Diamonds}, and Gray got him to call another bet, 6,700 this time. On the {7-Hearts} river, the rest of Gray's 10,450 chips went into the pot, and his opponent check-tanked for ages. It was long enough that someone called the clock, and the player let it tick down nearly all the way before making the call to put Gray at risk.

Gray turned up {4-Clubs} {4-Spades}, and his set of fours was the winner winner. That double up moves him to about 52,000, while his opponent is down to half his starting stack.

Outhred's Got 99 Problems (But Tiffany Michelle Ain't One)

After a raise to 825, Alex Outhred three-bet to 2,525 on the button. The other player four-bet to 7,500, and Outhred shipped in his stack. His opponent snapped all in for another 25,000 or so, and Outhred was in trouble.

Outhred: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

No sweat though. The {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop looked good to Alex, and the {4-Hearts} turn and {2-Diamonds} river kept him smiling. His opponent was less happy to find himself on his way home while Outhred racked up 99,000.

Woe For Williams

David Williams
David Williams

With a raise to 800 from middle position in front of him, David Williams made the call in the hijack position to see a flop of {7-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. Action checked to Williams who fired 1,800. His opponent made the call.

The turn was the {q-Diamonds} and again it was check, bet, call, this time for 4,100. On the {A-Hearts} river, it was checked for the third time to Williams who bet 11,000. His opponent made the quick call and tabled {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} for a set of aces which was too good for Williams as his cards hit the muck.

Williams has lost over 60,000 in the last hour or two, to now find himself back in the pack with 84,000.

Madsen is Outta Here

A player in middle position raised to 600 and Jeff Madsen moved all in from the button for his last 3,600. The small blind called as did the original raiser.

Madsen had a chance to triple up but was up against two opponents. They both checked the {5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{J-Hearts} flop and when the {6-Spades} came on the turn, the small blind bet 5,000. The middle position player called and the {2-Hearts} hit the river.

It was checked and Madsen showed {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Unfortunately for him, it was behind the small blind's {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Bad Situation for Gazes

Bill Gazes found himself stuck in a bad situation. On a board of {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, he bet 3,600. His lone opponent then raised to 7,875 and Gazes made an obvious call with top two pair, {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. The problem for Gazes was that his opponent had bottom set of fours, {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Gazes did not catch a king or a queen on the river {6-Diamonds} and as a result fell to about 25,000 in the counts.

Ng Takes a Small Hit

An under the gun player limped and action folded to Evelyn Ng in the small blind. She decided to call and the big blind checked his option. Everyone checked the {K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{K-Spades} flop and the {9-Clubs} came on the turn.

Ng led out for a small bet of 350, which chased out the big blind. The under the gun player called and both players checked the {2-Spades} on the river.

Ng turned over {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} but was behind her opponent's {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}. Ng is down to 26,000.

Ross the Boss

We found Matt Ross involved in a little pot with a flop of {3-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} in front of he and his opponent. Both of them checked there, but Ross fired 1,125 on the {J-Diamonds} turn. His opponent called, then called again when the {A-Hearts} paired the board on fifth street.

Ross showed up {J-Spades} {J-Clubs} for jacks full, and that won him the pot to push him right back to 30,000 where he began the day.

Delk Needs a Bigger Boat

Jena Delk joined us late in Pavilion, proudly telling us she was one of the last people to register today. She might have liked to miss this hand, the first one she says she played.

The limped under the gun, and the button and blinds came along to see a {k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop. Both blinds checked, and Delk bet 550. Only the small blind, Manny Minaya, called. The turn was the {10-Diamonds}, and Minaya checked again. Delk bet 1,550, and he flatted. The {k-Clubs} on the river double-paired the board, and Minaya bet 3,220. Delk called with a pair of tens for tens full of kings. But Minaya's {k-Spades}{3-Diamonds} had rivered kings full of fours to take the pot.

"Why did I call?" Delk asked herself. "I knew you had to have that." She added, "It was nice of you stay with me the whole way though."

Delk was left with 22,100 while Manny is up to 43,000.
