YorkshirePud

Nível 7 : 250/500, 0 ante

Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi has just lost a sizeable pot but still has 125,000 chips at his disposal so he is hardly down and out.

Mizrachi got into a raising war on the flop that resulted in his opponent being all-in with for a set of aces and Mizrachi the for top pair and the nut flush draw. Mizrachi's flush outs were taken away — in fact all of his outs — when the improved his opponent to a full house, and when the river bricked off Mizrachi handed over 20,700 of his colossal stack.

Mizrachi Mauls Schwartz; Ascends to Chip Lead

[user80015]

Nível 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

10 minutes ago it didn't appear as though Michael Mizrachi was in this tournament.

Now he has nearly 100,000 in chips.

As our PokerNews reporter searched the room for hands and chip counts, he noticed that Noah Schwartz's seat was empty and Mizrachi was dragging a monster pot.

On the previous round of chip counts - when Mizrachi wasn't there - Schwartz was nestled behind a near-40,000 chip stack.

However in the span of just several minutes, Schwartz has been sent to the rail just shy of dinner break as Mizrachi sit atop the leaderboard with an impressive 97,625.

Palarino Flops a Straight and Gets Paid

YorkshirePud

Nível 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

The cutoff limped in for 400 and Jeffrey Palarino raised to 1,800 from the button. David "Bakes" Baker said, "I raise pot," and he made it 6,200 to play from his seat in the small blind. The big blind and initial limper folded, but Palarino called.

The flop was bet to the tune of 5,000 by Baker, Palarino moved all-in for a few thousand more and Baker called.

Baker:
Palarino:

Palarino had flopped a straight and Baker was left needing a ten in order to improve to a straight himself. The turn was no help to Baker and neither was the river, which sent the pot to Palarino.
