Action folds all the way to Jason Senti in the small blind. He quietly moves all in and big blind Joseph Cheong calls (also quietly). Just like that, the crowd is roused from its slumber to see what's going on.
Showdown
Senti:
Cheong:
Senti is at risk of elimination. He's the only one standing for a flop that connects with neither player, . Senti looks resigned, though he manages to crack a smile just before the turn comes . That card gives Cheong a pair of aces but also gives Senti the nut flush draw. Nice sweat!
Since live poker is rigged, you know that the river card came the to give Senti the nut flush. We couldn't hear him over the pandemoium in the theater, but we could certainly see him throw his head back slightly in disbelief and we could lip-read the "Wow!" that came out of his mouth.
Senti's stack, once it was counted down, was 10.1 million. He doubles up to a bit more than 20 million and brings Cheong back to the pack at the same time.
Mike Matusow is sitting right underneath our media table here in the spectators' stands on stage. Robert Mizrachi, Grinder's brother, is about halfway across the stage, but that didn't stop The Mouth from striking up a conversation.
"Rob... Rob! You got some cards so we can play Chinese?"
Under the gun, Joseph Cheong opens to 1.325, and John Dolan is going to three-bet him. He makes it a total of 2.925, and the table folds back around to Cheong. He eventually calls, and the two men go heads up to a flop. Cheong checks to the reraiser, and Dolan obliges him with a continuation bet worth 3.3 million. There's not much hesitation with Cheong, and he takes just a quick glance before cutting the calling chips out into the pot.
We move on to the turn, and Cheong checks it again. Dolan checks it back this time to see the land on fifth street. Another check from Cheong is followed by another from Dolan as well, and it's showdown time.
Dolan shows his first, and Cheong elects not to reveal his holdings as he concedes the pot.
The aggressive Joseph Cheong makes it 1,325,000 pre-flop. Michael Mizrachi calls from the small blind for a heads-up flop of . Mizrachi checks, giving space to Cheong to continue for 1,750,000.
We haven't seen Mizrachi make many snap decisions today and this hand is no diferent. It's 40 seconds before he folds his cards, but fold them he does. Push another pot to Cheong.
Filippo Candio raises to 1.6 million and Michael Mizrachi makes the call to see a flop from the big blind.
It comes , and the action goes check-check. The turn draws another check from Mizrachi, and Candio takes his cue to fire 2.25 million at the pot in a delayed continuation bet. We're not sure how to say, "Take it down," in Italian.
John Racener raises to 1.5 million. Cheong makes the call and then Jonathan Duhamel reraises from the big blind to 5.35 million. Racener folds and Cheong folds. Duhamel scoops the pot.
