Robert Mizrachi started the day with a mere 17,100 chips, 17 big bets, and that stack size has since changed by a lot. Yet another pot against Michael Zepek ended with the chips being pushed towards Mizrachi, who had his bets on turn and river of a board 
called by Zepek.
"Flush and a low," Mizrachi announced and turned over 
. That ended up as the winner as Zepek mucked, and Mizrachi boosted his stack further.

Is the Real Grinders lounge a look into the future for the real grinders of Poker? Some of Pokers biggest names can be found in the lounge as you step inside. They all have the same ideas, relax, chat and rejuvenate. During the WSOP 2018 over fourteen thousand Real Grinders members could walk through the lounge where they will rest, eat & drink on their poker break. We found Jeff Madsen and Dan Heimiller hanging out there today between events. Real Grinders very own Raymond Davis was also there with quite a number of Real Grinders members lounging.
