"Hey, Some of My Chips are Mizz-ing!"

We picked up the action on a flop that read {7-Spades}{A-Hearts}{4-Spades} over on table 33, where an opponent in early position checked to Sorel Mizzi, who opened for 1,600 from the button. The opponent check-raised, making it 6,800 to go and Mizzi called before the opponent jammed the rest of his stack into the middle on the turn of the {7-Hearts}. Mizzi snap-called.

Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}
Mizzi: {K-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}

Unfortunately for Mizzi, the opponent's hand held up when the {6-Diamonds} bricked out on the river. Still, it's not that much of a concern, because he's still on more than 46,000.

Mizrachi Getting Grinded Down

Michael Mizrachi
Michael Mizrachi

We didn't catch all the action, but arrived to see a board reading {K-Spades}{J-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and the following cards laid on the table.

Michael Mizrachi: {10-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{A-Clubs}

We do know that the money went in on the turn, and that Mizrachi ended up doubling his opponent. Mizrachi has gone from nearly 100,000 down to 21,000 in the last hour.

Obrestad Hits River Of Dreams

On a board of {k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{6-Spades}, Annette Obrestad put 4,600 chips into a pot with about 10,000 already in there. Her river bet was called down by Shaun Deeb and Obrestad showed {8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for a rivered nut straight much to the chagrin of Deeb.

After she showed he said, "Wow... I had A LOT of good cards in that hand" and angrily flung his hand into the muck. Obrestad now has about 20,000.

G0lfa Doubles Lisandro

Ryan "G0lfa" D'Angelo just doubled up 2009 WSOP Player of the year Jeff Lisandro.

Lisandro got his last 14,000 all in on the flop of {5-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds} with {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} against D'Angelo's {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The turn and river came {7-Spades}{2-Clubs} to give Lisandro the double up and cut D'Angelo's chip stack in half. Lisandro has a little over 33,000 and D'Angelo a little under 15,000 after the hand

Table 18 is Getting Interesting

A player in the cutoff raised to 1,000 only to have Jeffrey Lisandro reraise to 3,250 from the big blind. The cutoff made the call and watched the flop come down {6-Spades}{K-Spades}{6-Clubs}. Lisandro fired out 6,000, the cutoff folded, and Lisandro took down another pot.

Interestingly, Lisandro is seated at Table 18, which is also home to last year's runner-up Kevin Boudreau in the $5K PLO event. While that isn't special in and of itself, the fact that Chance Kornuth was recently moved there sort of is; after all, Kornuth is the man who defeated in Boudreau for the title just one year ago.

Selbst is Stackin' Up

Vanessa Selbst is now up to more than 86,000 after taking out another opponent.

We caught up with the action with a board that read {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}; Selbst led out for a bet of 6,000 and her female opponent called before Selbst bet enough to put her all in on the river of the {2-Spades}.

The opponent called, but she mucked after Selbst announced she had a flush and rolled up {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. Yep, that'd do it!
