Joe Hachem is off to a rather rough start here in his first event at the 2014 WSOP.
Hachem: / /
Opponent: / /
The 2005 WSOP Main Event winner threw bets out street after street, only to find his opponent raise him on sixth. He made the call and did so again on seventh, but mucked claiming jacks and eights when his opponent showed a jack-high straight, claiming he had improved from a ten-high straight on the river.
Mizrachi's opponent called bets on fifth, sixth, and seventh street. The South Florida turned over for a full house, and his opponent mucked his holdings.
"A full house?" Richard Sklar asked, incredulously.
Mizrachi offered a simple, wry smile as he raked in the pot.
A rather quiet Phil Laak has bombed his way up to a 60,000-chip stack.

Laak fired away on every street he could, eventually forcing his foe to fold on seventh. After pushing up to a high water mark above 80,000, he's dipped a little, but managed to right the ship by collecting this pot.
Phil Ivey glanced over at Bryn Kenney telling him he can't remember a single tournament where they have sat together and he had more chips than him.
"After you got me in London," retorted Kenney, retelling the tale of Ivey barreling into his kings with and finding an ace on the river to send him broke.
Eli Elezra: / /
Jonathan Duhamel: / /
Opponent: / /
The action checked to Duhamel on fifth street, and he bet. Both of his opponents called, and the player with an ace showing led out on sixth. Elezra raised, leaving a single grey T100 chip behind, and both Duhamel and the bettor called.
Elezra committed his last 100 on seventh, both players called, and he showed for kings and nines. The third player revealed for a low, and Duhamel mucked.
The 2013 bracelet winner is still short, but Elezra is still kicking with 12,600 chips.
Todd Brunson is sitting with no less than two cups of ice, two waters, a massive Big Gulp-style soda and a rather large Starbucks coffee in front of him.
"Can you get a penalty for having too many drinks at the table?" he asked with a wry smile.
