Big Hands:
Eric Mizrachi Eliminated
After raising on the button with the A
10, Eric Mizrachi was re-raised all-in from Brent Roberts in the small blind. Roberts shoved 145,000 into the middle, which was just enough to cover the short stack of Mizrachi. Mizrachi went into the tank saying, “I really hope it’s a coin flip.” He eventually made the call and Roberts announced that it was a coin flip and exposed the K
Q. Mizrachi flipped his cards over for the slight lead in the hand. The flop was a disaster for Mizrachi as it came 2
K4
, giving Roberts top pair. The board bricked out for the Mizrachi brother with the 7 and 2 to send him to the rail.
Steve Sung Wins Big Pot With Ace-High
On a flop of 939, Steve Sung checked to his opponent in the cut off. Sung’s opponent fired out 75,000 and Sung contemplated briefly before making the call. The 10 hit the turn and Sung checked. His opponent elected not to double barrel bluff the turn and checked behind. The 3 on the river paired the board and Sung quickly bet just 16,000 into the pot of 200,000. His opponent looked confused and smiled at the very tiny bet from Sung, eventually making the call. Sung tabled the AK for ace-high and his opponent quickly mucked. Sung is now up to 500,000.
Lee Watkinson Doubles Up
Severely short stacked, Lee Watkinson called the all-in re-raise by an opponent who had him well covered. Watkinson turned over the A10 and was ahead of the 35 of his opponent. The flop came J62, putting the Full Tilt Pro well ahead of the suited connectors of his opponent. The K hit the river, giving Watkinson a flush and having his opponent drawing dead for the river. Just after moving tables, Watkinson doubled up to 210,000, still about half the chip average.
Dan Heilmiller Takes Down A Pot
A player in middle position bet 52,000 pre-flop. Action was folded to Dan Heilmiller on the button, who re-raised 75,000 on top. Amanda Baker in the small blind went into the tank before finally folding. Action was then quickly folded to the initial raiser, who asked Heilmiller for a count on his chips. Heilmiller counted out 305,000 more and his opponent eventually folded. Heilillmer is now up to 474,000.
Steve Sung Wins Another Pot
On a board of K83, Steve Sung bet out 65,000 from the big blind. His bet was called by an opponent in middle position. The K hit the river and Sung fired out a large pot sized bet of 200,000 into his caller, leaving only 85,000 behind. His opponent went into the tank before finally folding. Sung said afterward that he wanted a call and that he bet too much on the end. Sung is now up to 570,000.
Lee Watkinson Eliminated
As the short stack of the tournament with just 16,000 in chips, Lee Watkinson moved all-in under the gun. Jonathan Aguilar in the cut-off shoved in over the top of Watkinson’s tiny all-in bet and was called by Amanda Baker. Watkinson held the J10 and wasn’t in too bad of shape against the pocket nines of Aguilar and the pocket eights of Amanda Baker. Aguilar flopped a full house and doubled through Baker to 500,000, eliminating Watkinson.
