His opponent can only hit a non-diamod four or ace on the river to win. Unfortunately for Kessler, the A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]hits on the river and he is eliminated from the tournament. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 18:14:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Mizrachi Moving Up[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]With four limpers in front of him, Michael Mizrachi, seat nine on the button, raises to $12,000. All four limpers call the button's raise and see the flop. The flop comes down 9 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Everyone checks. The turn falls the 8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The turn is checked around to the eight seat who bets $2,000. Everyone folds around to Mizrachi who calls the bet, leaving him with $4,700. The river is the 3[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Mizrachi moves all-in. Seat eight says "I can’t call you,” as he flips over Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Mizrachi mucks his hand and scoops a large pot. Mizrachi now has $15,500.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 18:20:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Friedman and Sklansky Double[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]A shortstack at the table goes all-in for $2,500. Perry Friedman calls, as does one other player. The flop comes K [/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Friedman goes all-in for his last $2,425 and the other player calls. Friedman has K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3], beating his opponent's Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The other all-in player does not improve and muck after the board brings the 9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and the K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Friedman is up to $10,700.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The very next hand, David Sklansky bets $1,200 from middle position. The big blind pushes all-in, covering Sklansky. Sklansky calls and shows aces. His opponent doesn't improve and Sklansky goes up to $14,000.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 18:21:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Nathan Meyvis Takes the Chip Lead[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]A player raises to $1,000 in the cutoff and Nathan Meyvis re-raises all-in.

He now has $10,825 [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 18:30:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Overheard[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]"I hope our table gets broken down soon. I don't like where I'm sitting." - Clonie Gowen, hoping for her table to split up as the field shrinks, as she sits between John Phan and Barry Greenstein.

They get into a raising war, with Olson eventually putting Prescott all-in. Prescott makes the call. Olson flips over A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]while Prescott flips over A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The flop is K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3], reversing their "outs" (although Olson does not need to hit anything to win). The turn is the 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]which makes a chop possible. The river is the J[/SIZE][SIZE=3], however. Prescott makes a pair but Olson makes a broadway straight to eliminate Allie Prescott. Olson is currently sitting on $40,000 in chips.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 21:33:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]They Call Her the King-Killer[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Marina "La Boca" Baroco has eliminated Ted Forrest and Barry Greenstein, while holding K-K both times.
