Event 50 - Suddenly We're Down To Two
1 year ago
The story of the last hour of the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha World Championship can really be told in four hands.
First Billy Argyros got crippled when he called a big river bet from Michael Mizrachi only to muck when the Grinder showed a straight.
Then the Croc got his last $235k in before the flop against Mizrachi with 10
9
7
6
. The Grinder held A-5-5-3 but despite the Q
5
9
flop giving him a set, it didn't hold when the 8
turn gave Argyros a straight and the river bricked.

The very next hand Argyros got it all in again against Mizrachi and despite the fact he flopped a set with A
A
6

on the A
K
3
board, the Grinder's crowd called for the gutter and he hit it when the 10
turn came down.
The crowd roared and as river was the meaningless 8
and Argyros stepped out fourth cashing $286,605.
Grinder...Grinded?
Mizarachi's attempt to keep his brother's 2007 title in the family came up short in the final big hand of the hour when he got all in against Peter Jetten holding A
K

against the Canadian's A

Q

. A much more reserved sounding Grinder faithfull could only watch and weep when the board ran out 9

and Mizrachi was done.
He takes home $331,279 for third.
Heads Up!
From 381 we're now down to two and it's Peter Jetten holding $4,250,000 against Marty Smyth's $3,335,000. Next up...the bracelet!

Event 50 - Can You Feel It!
1 year ago
The crowd has shuffled back into the stands surrounding the ESPN stage and the players have followed suit. A well fed looking group, the five remaining players are chatting it up as they sit down to settle the score here.
Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi had walked back up in the stands several times to check in with his crew before finally taking his seat and we were just underway when BAM - Richard Harroch got hit.
Harroch Hunted Down and Shot (5th)
We here at PL.com sincerely hope Richard Harroch enjoyed his dinner because he won't be with us for dessert after being eliminated fifth.
He'll cash $214,884 after calling a Marty Smyth $200k pre flop raise. The two went heads up to the A
J
4
flop and Harroch put his tournament life on the line right away. Smyth almost beat him to the pot with a call and showed 7
6
4
4
against Harroch's A
Q
10
5
.
It's a set versus a whole whack of draws that are left hanging when the 5
drops on the turn and the 4
river gives our chip leader quads.

| Marty Smyth | $3,350,000 |
| Michael Mizrachi | $1,535,000 |
