Schreiber Sent Packing By Mizrachi

Michael Mizrachi opened to 80,000 from the hi-jack before Matthew Schreiber moved all in for his last 374,000 from the big blind. Mizrachi made the call and we were off to a showdown.

Schreiber: {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Mizrachi: {J-Spades}{10-Spades}

The {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop put Mizrachi into the lead, and when the {5-Clubs} landed on the turn, Schreiber would need an ace or seven to stay alive.

Unfortunately for Schreiber, the {5-Diamonds} would land on the river to send him to the rail as Mizrachi returns to around the 5,600,000-chip mark.

Shnayder Turns The Nuts

With the pot already well-developed in a cutoff versus button battle, Garrett Beckman moved all in for his last 550,000 on the turn on a board of {9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, but Evgeny Shnayder snap-called.

Beckman: {8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Shnayder: {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

A creative two pair for Beckman but Shnayder snagged a straight on the turn which held on the {6-Diamonds} river. Beckman is out as Shnayder is currently racking up a mountain of chips worth around 4 million.

William Thorson
William Thorson

Thorson check-raised to 200,000, Wade then reraised all in for approximately 700,000 total, and Thorson called.

Thorson showed {K-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for kings, while Wade turned over {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. The turn was the {10-Diamonds} and the river the {9-Hearts}, and Wade is out.

Thorson is up to 2.85 million now.

Jarvis to 5MM as Nadal Bows Out

Jose Nadal's tournament came down to this: his {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} all in pre-flop against Matthew Jarvis' {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}. A king-high flop, {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, was very, very bad nes for Nadal. When the turn came {9-Spades}, Nadal was drawing dead. His last 575,000 chips were pased to Jarvis, increasing his count to about 5,050,000. Nadal then headed across the hall to get paid.

Four-Bet Victory for Mizrachi

Duy Le opened to 60,000 from middle position only to have Christopher Bolt three-bet to 200,000.

With the action on Michael Mizrachi in the small blind, he four-bet to 700,000 to prompt a quick fold from Le.

Bolt mulled over his decision for a few moments before also tossing his cards into the muck to see Mizrachi collect the pot and move to 5,750,000 in chips.

Gordon Can't Out-Flop Norris

Joshua Norris wound up all in pre-flop for 520,000. He might not have thought he'd be in such great shape with {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}, but he was a dominating favorite against his only caller, Ian Gordon. Gordon tabled {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. The hand was over by the turn, {3-Hearts}{5-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. The results of the hand gave Norris 1.1 millon in chips and dropped Gordon to 1.6 million.
