Mike Watson opened with a raise to 6,000. Next to act was Robert Mizrachi and he called on the button. Mike Gorodinsky was next to act and from the small blind he raised to 23,000.
With action back on Watson he called. Then, Mizrachi moved all in for 89,900 more. Gorodinsky thought for a long time before releasing his hand. Watson was much quicker, he released his hand and Mizrachi was pushed the massive pot without any draws.

Deeb took one while Kruse stood pat. Both players then checked. "Ten-seven," Deeb announced. Kruse showed though for a ninety-eight and that was good to take the pot and give Kruse a little breathing room here close to the end of the night.
Mike Leah and Jon Turner have been atop the leaderboard for most of this evening, the latter being on his second bullet. Shaun Deeb is closing in on them and may have a chance to catch them as a table has broken sending Leah to the immediate left of Turner, and Deeb to a table with much smaller stacks.

Klodnicki needed to catch something lower than a jack that wasn't a pair to complete his , but instead, he drew a and that sent him to the rail.
