It has been a great WSOP for Michael Mizrachi this year, but his run in thDais event has come to an end. George Danzer opened for a raise and Peter Gould called before Mizrachi three-bet an additional 10,000. Danzer opted to call, while Gould tossed his cards into the muck. Danzer drew one and put out a bet of 65,000, which was more than enough to put Mizrachi all-in. Mizrachi made the call and was shown the 7-5-4-3-2 of Danzer. Danzer is now the overwhelming chip leader with 235,000 in chips. Erik Sagstrom Sent Packing Anton Allemann raised to 4,000 from the cutoff and Daniel Negreanu called from the button. Erik Sagstrom moved all-in from the small blind and was called by only Allemann. Sagstrom drew one while Allemann stood pat and showed a jack-low and Sagstrom showed his four cards, the 10-9-6-4. He sweated his final card and then mucked his hand and Allemann is up to 160,000. Wattel Beats Up on Zolotow Mike Wattel doubled through Steve Zolotow after Wattel made a 9-8-7-6-4, which left Zolotow with only 700 in chips. The very next hand Wattel finished the job and sent Zolotow home. Gould Sends Binger to the Rail Peter Gould raised to 6,000 from middle position and was met with a shove all-in for 14,000 from Michael Binger in the cutoff.

Cassidy went into the tank for several minutes before eventuall making the call and drew one to his 8-6-5-2, while Mercier drew one to his 9-6-5-2. Mercier caught a 10 and Cassidy began squeezing out his river card. “It has spots,” he said referring to the fact that it wasn’t an ace, two, three, or paint card. He then went to the lower edge ofthe card to reveal three dots and eventually flipped up a 7 to stay alive and grow to 95,000, while Mercier falls to 30,000.
David Baker opened to 4,500 and George Danzer three-bet to 16,500. Baker made the call and drew one card, while Danzer stood pat. Baker fired 24,000 and Danzer made the call and mucked after he saw Baker’s 7-6-4-3-2. Danzer slipped to 185,000 and Baker climbs to 181,000.

Brunson paired his four and Cloutier took the pot and is up to 155,000 in chips. Schulman Finishes Off Mercier Joe Cassidy opened to 4,000 from the cutoff and Jason Mercier moved all-in from the button for 30,200. Nick Schulman then moved all-in over the top of that from the small blind. Cassidy tanked for quite a while before folding. Schulman drew one and Mercier stood pat. Mercier had the J-9-8-6-4 and Schulman drew to the 8-6-4-3. Schulman caught the 2 and is up to 66,000 and Mercier is out.

Zolotow joked about his hand as he showed the K-K-8-3-2 and tossed his hand in the muck. Zolotow slipped to 48,000 and Dwan climbed to over 55,000. Raymer Gets the Better of Phan The action folded around to Raymer in the small blind and raised to 2,500. Loi Phan made the call in the big blind and both players drew one card. Raymer fired 3,500 after the draw and Phan made the call. Raymer tabled the 8-7-6-4-3 to take the pot. Raymer increased his stack to 24,000 and Phan dropped to 12,000. Negreanu Pairs Up, Still Takes Pot Daniel Negreanu made it 4,000 from under-the-gun and was called by Anton Allemann from the big blind. Both players drew one before both players checking after the draw. Alleman showed a pair of sixes and Negreanu tabled the 8-6-4-5-5, for a pair of fives and then pot. “Nobody had any heart,” Negreanu added as his stack improved to 68,000.
Brandon Adams moved all-in for his last 11,700 from the cutoff and Negreanu called from the big blind. Neagreanu stood pat as he showed the J-8-7-6-5 and Adams drew one and showed the 6-4-3-2. Adams could only muster up a Q from the dealer and Negreanu was sent to the rail, while Negreanu improves to 80,000. Raymer Makes the Nuts Mike Watts raised to 2,500 under-the-gun and Greg Raymer made the call before Stephen Chidwick three-bet to 10,500. Watts folded and Raymer made the call. Chidwick stood pat and Raymer drew one. Raymer squeezed out the one card before moving all-in for 39,000 causing Chidwick to fold. Raymer showed Chidwick he made a good fold as he tabled 7-5-4-3-2. Kesselman Knocks Out Two Mark Dickstein raised to 3,000 from the cutoff and Mike Matusow raised all-in for 19,400 from the small blind. Eric Kesselman called as well from the big blind and Dickstein moved all of his chips into the middle for not much more. Matusow drew two cards, Kesselman drew one, and Dickstein drew one. Matusow showed the A-8-7-5-3, Kesselman showed the 10-9-7-6-2, and Dickstein tabled the J-8-4-3-2. Kessleman’s 10 was good for the pot and Matusow and Dickstein have been sent home earlier than they had hoped.
