Event 10 - Down to Five 1 year ago

We are down to five at this final table with the elimination of young-gun John Racener. Farzad Rouhani is still the chip leader but the distribution of markers across the table is starting to even out. Read on for details on that last exit as well as some other action we've seen.

Racener Ravaged (6th)

John Racener was extremely shortstacked and was forced into action on the last hand of his tournament. He picked up a great hand to make a stand with two kings in the hole but woud be unable to make it hold up. By the time all seven cards were out for each player Farzad Rouhani had made a flush which was more than enough to cut short Racener's chances at the bracelet.

He's out in 6th and takes $37,481 for his trouble.

The Miami Double

The biggest name left at this final table, "Miami" John Cernuto, has just doubled, earning himself a few inches of breathing room as he attempts to lock up his fourth WSOP bracelet. He began the hand with rolled up jacks and ended up with a full house which was good against a pair of deuces from Zhu.

Zhu on Life Support

The most obvious choice for the next elimination is now Yueqi Zhu. The levels are now putting serious pressure on everyone but Zhu most of all. We'll be paying special attention to see if he can get himself back in this thing.

Event 10 - Down to Six 1 year ago

Things are heating up at this final table! In this last level we've seen some chips exchange hands as well as two eliminations. Read on for those as well as newly-updated counts.

Serious Shortstackery!

The levels are really starting to become a factor in this tournament and the fact that Farzad Rouhani is sitting on almost half the chips in play isn’t helping matters for the shortstacked players. It seems the relative inactivity since this final table began has finally caught up with the players. Stay tuned as the eliminations will be coming one after another soon enough.

Mowczan Mowed Down (7th)

Daniel Mowczan, who reportedly passes the time collecting watches and repairing vintage pinball machines, seriously, has been eliminated. He was short and got all-in in a three-way pot against Tom Chambers and John Racener in a hand of Omaha.

The board read Qc Jh 7c and Chambers bet out. Mowczan called all-in and Racener called as well. Racener and Chambers checked the Jd on the turn before the Ts hit the turn. Racener bet out and after Chambes got out of the way Racener tabled Ad Ks 6h 2s for the nut straight.

We couldn't see Mowczan's hand but we can only assume it was inferior. He's out in 7th and will take $28,557.

Grinder Grounded (8th)


Happy to be here.

We’ve finally lost a player at this final table. Unfortunately for poker fans and media it was Michael “Grinder” Mizrachi to hit the bricks. Mizrachi is certainly one of the most media-friendly pros around so it’s a shame to see him go.

We weren’t in attendance for his final hand but we do know he was knocked off by Yueqi Zhu. Mizrachi was all-in and unable to come up with a winning high or low. Mizrachi is out in 8th and will take $24,095 for his trouble.
