We've seen a few players this year playing Chinese poker on their iPads against the computer or with a railbird. But we have yet to to see two players playing each other in Chinese from across the table. That is until we saw Sorel Mizzi and Eli Elezra playing on an iPad that they have been passing to one another. Their game must be far more interesting than the tournament because Mizzi just had to be reminded that the action was on him.
A player in late position raise only to have the button three-bet. Jonathan Aguiar was in the big blind and put in a four-bet, which both his opponents called. When the flop came down 
, Aguiar led out with a bet, and once again both opponents called.
When the 
hit the turn, action checked to the button and he was the one to do the betting. Aguiar made the call as the late-position player got out of the way. Aguiar then checked the 
river, the button bet, Aguiar check-raised, and the button made the call. Aguiar rolled over 
for a rivered full house and the button mucked in frustration.

Action folded to the player on the button and he decided it was a fine opportunity to raise. The small blind got out of the way but Todd Witteles decided to defend from the big. Witteles, who if you recall won this very event back in 2005, proceeded to check-call bets from the button every step of the way as the board ran out

The button was proud to show , which must have been enough as Witteles rapped the table and slowly mucked his hand.

Mori Eskandani may not be a name familiar to the average poker fan, but it certainly should be. Eskandani is the man responsible for many of the poker shows you see on TV, including Poker After Dark, High Stakes Poker, and the National Heads-Up Poker Championship.
Eskandani is in today's field and is looking for his first WSOP gold bracelet, which would no doubt compliment his 15 WSOP cashes totaling $200,580.
