No Limit Hold'em
Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi and Bruno Portaro have been amongst the recent spate of eliminations as the action continues here in Event #52.

Mizrachi called, then the big blind checked again on the river 
before Mizrachi bet 2,400, leaving just 100 behind. The big blind called and Mizrachi could only rustle up a measly

and William's opponent decided that this time the magic number would be 2,600. Williams called quite quickly once again to see his opponent flip up 
, the small and big blinds checked to Shannon Shorr who opened for 400, but the small blind then check-raised to 1,075. The big blind folded, Shorr four-bet it to 6,000 straight and the small blind called all-in.
, but the small blind kept the lead with his pair of queens. However, Shorr still had plenty of outs with that gut-shot straight flush draw of his, and he managed to bink one with the river

, Bruno Portaro bet out from the small blind and the big blind player raised it up before another player in middle position re-raised. Portaro four-bet it and both the big blind and the middle position players called before Portaro opened again on the turn of the
