Grinder Gonna Grind

Stud 8

Michael Mizrachi: {2-}{3-} / {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{A-Hearts}
Abe Mosseri: {x-}{x-} / {5-Hearts}{A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Mizrachi had raised on third with Mosseri making the call, 'The Grinder' then bet fourth, fifth and sixth with Mosseri calling him down until Mizrachi made open aces and Mosseri folded.

"Come on baby, let's go!" said Mizrachi, saddened by his opponent's fold. Mizrachi flipped {2-}{3-} for a 7-6 perfect to go with his aces and scooped another pot.

Omaha 8

Gerard Rechnitzer was all in on the turn of a {3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} board with {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} against Abe Mosseri's {A-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Both had the wheel but Mosseri's six-high straight ensured he got three-quarters of the pot after the {Q-Hearts} river.

Rechnitzer was left short and was all in preflop against Scotty Nguyen and Abe Mosseri. The latter check-called a bet on the {2-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} flop before both players checked the {K-Diamonds} turn. Mosseri then check-folded to a bet on the {6-Hearts} river. Nguyen showed {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} for aces up, Rechnitzer could only flip {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and with no low available, he went on 6th place.

Omaha 8

Gregory Jamison had just been crippled in the Stud 8 by Abe Mosseri when the latter showed a pair of fives and a 7-6-5-4-2 low to scoop a decent pot. The rest of Jamison's chips went in with {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} preflop against Mosseri's {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

The flop was {A-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Jamison made two pair while Mosseri made a vunerable 8-2 low, the {J-Hearts} turn changed nothing. Jamison needed a five, six or seven to scoop while Mosseri needed an ace, king or jack to counterfeit and make a better two pair for his own scoop. (An eight would give Jamison three quarters).

The river was the {A-Clubs}, Mosseri made aces and kings and won the entire pot meaning we now have just six players left.
