River is Kind to Mizrachi

There are still four Mizrachi brothers left in this event. Robert is leading the charge for the family. He's up to 414,000 after dragging yet another pot. He opened to 4,400 from the cutoff and was called by the button. Mizrachi continued for 5,500 on a queen-high flop, {q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. The button player called.

Both players checked when the turn paired the board, {2-Clubs}. A river of {7-Diamonds} brought a bet of 14,600 from Mizrachi. His opponent called again and saw that he had been rivered by Mizrachi's {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}, which made a full house.

Brikis Doubles Through Chan

Josh Brikis is now sitting with 360,000 chips after a double up through Johnny Chan. We missed the hand, but Brikis was kind enough to let us in on the action.

According to Brikis, Chan opened to 4,000 and Brikis called in the cutoff. The flop fell {k-}{7-}{6-} and Chan led for 7,700. Brikis raised to 17,500, Chan re-raised to 33,200 and Brikis called.

The turn was a {9-} and Chan led for 50,000. Brikis called.

Chan fired yet another bullet after the {3-} rivered, putting Brikis all in and Brikis called with {7-}{7-} for a set of sevens.

Brikis doubled while Chan is down to 420,000

Scott Eliminated

Kara Scott has slipped back under 100,000 to a below average stack when she just now found herself all in on the turn with the board showing {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. Scott held {K-Clubs}{10-Spades} for top pair and a double-gutter, but her opponent had {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} for a set of jacks.

The river brought the {4-Spades}, and Scott has been eliminated.

Baron Bounces Back

As we recently reported, Isaac Baron lost a good chunk of his chips after doubling up an opponent. He didn't take long to get his last 33,000 into the middle. He was in the big blind and raised all in with another player calling.

Baron: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Opponent: {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

Baron managed to stay ahead through the board as it came out {8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{2-Spades}, putting Baron up to about 70,000 chips.

Ubierna Climbing

Pablo Ubierna
Pablo Ubierna

A player in middle position raised to 4,000 preflop. Pablo Ubierna called on the button, as did both blinds.

Flop: {3-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{7-Spades}

Everyone checked round to Ubierna who bet out 16,000. Just the preflop raiser called.

Turn: {Q-Hearts}

Ubierna led out for 26,000 and, again, was called.

River: {A-Clubs}

The preflop raiser turned aggressor by betting out 48,000. After a brief pause, Ubierna slid the necessary chips across the felt.

His opponent tapped the table immediately and moved his cards towards the muck. Ubierna tabled {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, but demanded to see his opponent's hand, which was revealed to be {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

A chunky pot for Ubierna means he now has 270,000.

Negreanu Still Fighting

Down to about 18,500 in chips, Daniel Negreanu opened for 4,600 pre-flop. Two players called: one in position behind Negreanu and one from the blinds. The rest of Negreanu's chips went into the middle after a flop of {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. Neither of his opponents was willing to take Negreanu on.

"I wouldn't have minded a call," said Negreanu. "Or for someone to ship it before the flop." Neither of those things happened. Negreanu's stack remains stuck in the land of the shorties with about 30,000.

Nuanmanee Doubles

Khamsy Nuanmanee
Khamsy Nuanmanee

Jon Kalmar opened to 4,300 from middle position and found one caller before Khamsy Nuanmanee three-bet to 15,000 from the button.

With the action back on Kalmar, he slid in a stack of 5,000-denomination chips amounting to a raise of 100,000 to force the caller caught in the middle to fold before Nuanmanee moved her last 79,200 into the pot.

Kalmar: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Nuanmanee: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} to see Nuanmanee double through to 175,000 as Kalmar slips to 62,000 in chips.

Baron Loses Some

A player at Isaac Baron's table had put himself all in with Baron coming along for the ride. We're pretty sure that the all-in moment occurred on the flop, which looked like this: {9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}

Baron: {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Baron was looking good, having flopped a set. But when the turn and river came {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, Baron's opponent made flush and doubled through the young pro.

Baron is now down to 33,000 chips

Back in Business

During the break we learned of a hand involving serial WSOP casher (a whopping seven this year alone!) Dan Heimiller. Down to his final 23,600, he moved all in with {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and came up against {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}, but managed to survive a {4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{K-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} board. He's now on 59,000.

"Back in business," he beamed.
