Event 50 - Final Table - Down to Five
1 year ago
In the last level we've seen a pair of eliminations and no shortage of action. Read on for the details and the new five-handed counts. And, oh by the way, they're off on a 90-minute dinner break.
Apathy Doubles
Action folded to Kido Pham in the small blind and he completed. Peter “Apathy” Jetten checked in the big blind and the flop came down J
T
6
. Both players checked and the turn was the 3
.
Kido took the lead with a $80,000 bet which Jetten had no problem calling. The river was the 4
and after a check from Pham, Jetten fired $125,000. Unfazed, Kido check-raised the pot, a little over $600,000.
Jetten was faced with calling all-in and after a seemingly endless amount of time in the tank he did just that. Jetten tabled Q
5
4
2
for the straight and Kido mucked.
Kido Beatrix’d (Sixth)
Kido Pham was relieved of a large portion of his stack in the hand described above was subsequently eliminated. Three players limped and Pham popped it from the big blind. Michael Mizrachi was the only caller and the flop came down Q
T
7
.
Pham checked and Mizrachi fired $300,000. Pham called and the turn was the 6
. Pham checked again and Mizrachi moved all-in. Pham would have to call all-in and he took some time to think before making a decision. In the end he opted to call and when the cards were rolled we saw he was in bad shape.
Mizrachi: TcT
K
6
Pham: A
A
K
5
Mizrachi had hit a set of tens and Pham needed to spike a set of his own or the straight to stay alive. The river was the 6
, however, and Pham gets up to go. He takes $170,116 for his finish.
Hanlon Handled (Seventh)
Much to the dismay of the people in Tom Hanlon’s cheering section, Tom Hanlon has been eliminated. The hand began with Hanlon himself raising the pot, which represented over half his stack. Michael Mizrachi called from the big blind and the flop came down J
7
6
.
Mizrachi bet out and Hanlon quickly called all-in. A
K
T
9
for Hanlon needed some help against Grinder’s J
8
6
2
. The A
on the turn gave the all-in Hanlon some hope but the 3
on the river took it right back.
Tom Hanlon is out in seventh place for $134,302 and Mizrachi adds some chips to his already mountainous stack.
One for Kido
Kido Pham just took a nice pit with a big bet on the turn. Mizrachi and Billy Argyros limped in and Richard Harroch called from the small blind. Pham called in the big blind and the flop came down T
5
2
and Harroch led out for $175,000.
Pham made the call and the turn brought the 3
. Pham paused for a moment before pushing a $650,000 across the line. Harroch had had enough and dumped his hand in the muck.

Event 50 - Down to Seven
1 year ago
We've lost another player at this final table, leaving us with seven soldiering their way to the bracelet. Read on for the details on that elimination, a few hands and the new counts.
Moran Doubles; Goes Broke Nonetheless (8th)
We’re down to seven with the elimination of Brandon Moran. Moran was able to double when he moved in over the top of a Marty Smyth opener with 5

Q

. Smyth called with A
Q

and the board ran 8

A
. Moran hit the set and was good for the double.
Not long after Moran got into a complete debacle of a hand and ended up on the rail as a result. Kido Pham opened the pot and got calls from Moran and Peter Jetten. Michael Mizrachi was in the big blind and raised the pot, what looked like $400,000.
Pham called the raise and Moran called all-in. Jetten ditched his hand and the flop came down A
K
4
. Mizrachi immediately moved all-in and Pham folded.
Mizrachi: A

Moran: 8

Things were looking grim for Moran and got even worse when the 4
hit the turn and made Mizrachi the full house. The river was the J
and Moran is out for $107,442.
Double for the Croc
Billy “The Croc” Argyros has just doubled up, courtesy of big-stack Michael Mizrachi. We weren’t sure which player was the Croc but we took a long shot and assumed it was the guy with the crocodile hat, two stuffed crocodiles and two crocodile card protectors.
Peter Jetten opened the pot in question with a raise to $110,000. Mizrachi flat-called and Argyros moved all-in for a total of $495,000. Jetten got out of the way but, after a bit of tanking, Mizrachi made the call.
Mizrachi: 9

Argyros: K
