Robert Mizrachi moved his last 196,000 in from under the gun and Josue Sauvageau made the call from the cutoff.
Mizrachi: 
Sauvageau: 
As his railbirds called for a ten and hearts, the flop fell down 
to leave only a ten for Mizrachi to stay alive.
"Ten, ten, ten!" called the rail as the dealer dropped the 
on the turn.
"Any ten! Ten-ball!" was screamed again without realisation that the 
would be no good.
Although the river fell a four-side, for Mizrachi it was unfortunately the to see him hit the rail.
"It's up to you now Grinder!" bellowed one of the railbirds at the feature table in the direction of Michael Mizrachi as a round of applause greeted Robert's departure.
Win a flip, you could be the next champion. Lose a flip and you could be the next out. The most recent flip winner is Gianni Direnzo, whose 
out-raced Eduardo Parras'

. Direnzo climbed to 1,260,000 while Parras is down to 2,930,000.
We're seeing a ton of big-pair-versus-big-pair confrontations today, and we just witnessed another right in front of us as the Red section's mini-feature table.
It was Johnny Lodden with the 
, and he ran them smack into Edward Ochana's after series of raises and reraises. Ochana was the one all in for about 2.25 million, and he was in fine shape to double as the cards were turned up.
The at-risk player's king's stayed safe on board, too. The dealer ran out 
, and Lodden is forced to pay his debt. That drops the Team PokerStars Pro down around 600,000, while Ochana has doubled to about 4.51 million.
William Thorson raised to 55,000 from middle position and James Carroll called behind him. Pierre Canali then reraised to 200,000 from the small blind. The big blind and Thorson both folded, and Carroll made the call.
The flop came 
. Canali checked, and Carroll shoved all in. Canali made the call with his remaining 975,000.
Canali 
Carroll
The overpair for Canali, but a flush draw plus double-gutter draw for Carroll. The turn brought the 
, giving Carroll a pair. But the river was the , and Canali scored the big double-up.
Canali now has 2.45 million, while Carroll slips to 2.37 million.
Matthew Berkey raised from the cutoff seat to 60,000 before Meenaskshi Subramaniam reraised from the button to 160,000. Ronnie "Ronasty" Bardah was in the small blind and four-bet to 370,000. Berkey folded and then Subramaniam reraised. Subramaniam announced a raise, but didn't put in enough chips to make the full raise so the floor ruled that he had to raise just the minimum. The raise was to 580,000, an extra 210,000 to Bardah.
Bardah went into the tank for quite some time. He just doubled up through Jeff Banghart a little bit ago and this was another key spot where he could have his tournament life on the line. Eventually, Bardah let his hand go and gave it up. He dropped back to 1.345 million while Subramaniam jumped to 2.75 million.
The "Chip and a Chair" story of Gualter Salles unfortunately won't end in a famous tournament victory, but he should still be satisfied with a remarkable comeback after turning his last 1,000 chip yesterday into a collect of $57,102 today.
Salles' last chips went in preflop holding but he was dominated by the 
of Adam Levy.
It appeared all over on the 
flop, but the 
fell on the turn to give Salles a flush draw and some hope.
"Never easy..." sighed Levy, but his hand held on the 
river. Salles is eliminated as Levy is now back to 2.15 million chips.
Filippo Candio is spending a whole orbit away from Red 369 after recently winning a huge pot against Michael Skender. Candio wound up all in pre-flop for 1,636,000 with and was called by Michael Skender with . That wasn't the issue. The issue started after the board rolled out safe for Candio, 
.
With the pot secured, Andio started gutturally shouting. He popped out of his chair, ran in circles around the corner of the room -- right in front of the Red Section media tower -- and shouted, "ANDIAMO!" several times. This shouting went on long enough and was loud enough to bring the entire Amazon Room to a halt. (We're sure the ESPN cameras that were capturing all of the action had nothing at all to do with Candio's hysterics.)
Rule 44 of the 2010 World Series of Poker Official Tournament Rules states in relevant part, "Excessive celebration through extended theatrics, inappropriate behavior, or physical actions, gestures, or conduct will be subject to penalty". Tournament supervisors were quick to assess a one-round penalty on Candio for his theatrics.
Candio will have roughly 3.4 million chips waiting for him when he comes back from his penalty. Skender, the loser of the hand, is down to 2.4 million.
The flop was 
when Michael Pettit and Jacob Tyler got into a raising war that saw all of Pettit's chips into the middle. Pettit tabled for straight and flush draws as Tyler held the lead with for middle pair.
The turn was the and river the to leave Pettit down to just 8,000 and he was eliminated soon after.
Sebastian Panny has been sent crashing to the rail in a huge preflop clash with Matthew Jarvis.
Panny:
Jarvis: 
The flop was a rather noteworthy 
as Panny found a set, only to see Jarvis make a bigger set and leave Panny drawing to just the case ten or running diamonds. The turn was the 
and the was the icing on the cake for Javis as he made quad kings to eliminate Panny from the tournament.
Jarvis is now up to a commanding 4.6 million chips!
