The UTG player opened for a raise, James Anderson moved all-in from the big bind and the UTG player called. Anderson was in a dominating position with pocket kings against pocket queens, but the flop came down , giving his opponent a set. The turn gave Anderson a ray of hope with the , giving him more outs with an open-ended straight draw, and he filled it on the river with the .
"Oh no... I folded queen-jack," offered their tablemate Alexander Kostritsyn, revealing that the queen on the flop was the last one in the deck.
No sooner had Michael Mizrachi returned to his table after sweating the elimination of his brother Daniel than he was involved in a sizable pot of his own. He and Gerasimos Deres got the chips in pre-flop for 310,000 each, with Deres the player at risk of elimination. He tabled and was racing Mizrachi's suited Big Slick, . Mizrachi hit an ace on the and a king when the turn fell . That left Deres high and dry when the river blanked .
Daniel Mizrachi moved all in pre-flop for his last 67,000. He was called by the player in the big blind, Theo Jorgensen, who showed . Mizrachi had two live cards with and was the first player to make a pair, .
It was at that point that brother Michael arrived at the table to sweat the rest of the action. He called for a nine on the turn. A fell, no help to Jorgensen. Jorgensen managed to catch a on the river, however, to make a king-high straight, better than Mizrachi's jacks and nines. He moved up to 2.33 million, Daniel Mizrachi hit the rail, and Michael Mizrachi returned to his own table.
The under-the-gun player opened for 23,000, Michael Mizrachi called from UTG+1 and Michael Ferguson moved all-in for 220,000 from the big blind. The UTG players folded and Mizrachi mulled his decision.
"I'm 99% sure I have the best hand," Mizrachi said. "This is my favorite hand."
Ultimately, Mizrachi decided to muck his pocket fours. Ferguson showed pocket queens.
"I'm still a favorite, you know that," Grinder quipped with a smile. He's down to 570,000 while Ferguson chipped up to 290,000.
Thomas Demaria raised on the button, and Karga Holt three-bet from the small blind to 100,000. Demaria called, and they saw a flop. Holt bet out 130,000, and Demaria counted out a call but decided to go all in instead for 850,000. Holt didn't like it, but he made the call all in for 675,000. Demaria liked that even less.
Holt: for an overpair
Demaria: for an open-ended straight draw
The turn and river didn't hit Demaria. He couldn't believe what he'd done as Holt decimated his stack. Demaria was left with 185,000 while Holt jumped to 1,575,000. Demaria was eliminated shortly after.
Although Joseph Ressler hit top set with Q-Q against Mark Leonard's bottom pair on the flop, Leonard caught running sevens for quads to bounce Ressler from the Main Event. He's up to 1.5 million.
On the secondary feature table, Edward Ochana opened with a raise to 26,000 from under the gun and it folded around to James Carroll who called from the cutoff, David Liu then reraised to 86,000 from the button. The blinds got out, Ochana made it 180,000, and Carroll released his hand.
The action back on Liu, he declared he was all in for the 280,000 or so he had left, and Ochana thought a moment before making the call.
Ochana showed , well behind Liu's . The board came , and Liu pushed back up over 700,000. Ochana slips back to 625,000.
A curious hand at David Benyamine's table has resulted in a one-round penalty for Richard Kirsch. Benyamine opened with the first raise under the gun. We're not sure if Kirsch called that raise or re-raised, but we do know that button player Richard Morgan made it 200,000 to go. The blinds and Benyamine then folded.
"Well, you know what I have," said Kirsch. "I'm all in and I've got the aces. I don't think you can fold though. You have too much equity. Or maybe you can fold."
Kirsch's stack was counted down as roughly 450,000. It was 250,000 back to Morgan as he tanked.
"I have the aces," said Kirsch. "I'll show either way. You've just been running too good."
A floor supervisor happened to be watching the hand. When Morgan did finally fold and Kirsch was pushed the pot, the supervisor assessed a one-round penalty on Kirsch for disclosing the contents of his hand.
