Bardah Rising, Mizzi Slipping

Sorel Mizzi has now dipped into the danger zone following a big hand versus Ronnie Bardah. With the board showing {9-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, Bardah (cutoff) bet and Mizzi (button) called. Then the river brought the {K-Hearts} and a bet from Bardah which Mizzi raised. When Bardah three-bet, Mizzi went deep into the tank and after a couple of minutes let his hand go.

Queens for Gironda

With the board showing {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, Sorel Mizzi and Terrence Chan checked, Vincent Gironda bet, and only Chan called. The river brought the {3-Hearts} and a check from Chan, and Gironda fired again. Chan thought for a while, then called, Gironda showed {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}, and Chan mucked.

Gironda is extending his lead as Level 20 nears its conclusion.

Big Slick Gets It Done for Gironda

Vincent Gironda raised under the gun and then called a reraise from Sorel Mizzi in the small blind. Mizzi proceeded to lead out on the {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop, Gironda called, and the dealer burned and turned the {7-Diamonds}.

Again Mizzi bet, but this time Gironda announced a raise. Mizzi thought for a brief moment before making the call, and then both players checked the {4-Spades} river.

"Queen high," Mizzi said without showing his hand. It didn't matter though as Gironda turned over {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} for the winner.

Marco's Big Hand Beats Hans

Marco Johnson
Marco Johnson

Hans Minocha raised from the cutoff, Marco Johnson reraised from the button, and when it folded back around Minocha he just called. The flop came {9-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Minocha bet, Johnson raised, and Minocha called. Minocha checked and called Johnson's subsequent bets after the {6-Diamonds} turn and {J-Clubs} river as well.

Johnson quickly tabled his hand — {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} — and with less haste Minocha showed his {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}.

Johnson has climbed up out of the danger zone now, while Minocha tumbles back a bit in the counts.

Broadway for Mizzi

Sorel Mizzi raised to 16,000 under the gun and cleared the field to Ronnie Bardah in the big blind. He put in a three-bet to 24,000, Mizzi called, and it was off to the {2-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop, which saw a bet and call.

The {K-Hearts} turn saw Bardah fire another bullet, but this time Mizzi raised. Bardah made the call and then check-called a bet on the {7-Spades} river only to see Mizzi roll over {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} for the nuts.

Chad Brown Eliminated in 9th Place ($12,682)

Chad Brown - 9th place
Chad Brown - 9th place

Just after Level 20 began, Chad Brown lost a large percentage of his stack in a hand in which after some thought he called a river bet by Vincent Gironda with the board showing {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}. Gironda tabled {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} and Brown mucked, left with about 35,000.

Soon after came a hand in which Brown raised from the button, Terrence Chan three-bet from the small blind, Gironda called from the big blind, and Brown called as well.

The flop came {K-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{A-Spades}. Chan bet, Gironda called, Brown raised for just a touch more with what he had left, and Chan and Gironda both called the raise. Both remaining players then checked down the {9-Diamonds} turn and {2-Clubs} flop. Gironda turned over {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for aces, and Brown nodded in recognition as he showed {K-Hearts}{8-Spades} for a lesser pair. Chan showed as well, but the dealer swiftly mucked his hand.

Brown wished the remaining players good luck and made his way to the rail.
