On a flop of Q♣8♣6♥, Michael Mizrachi bet 10,000 when checked to and then did so again on the 4♠ turn for 22,000. His opponent bet the Q♥ river for 47,000 and Mizrachi instantly called.

"Eights," the other player declared and Mizrachi instantly replied "no good" as he exposed the K♣K♠Q♠4♦ for queens full of fours.

In the meanwhile, Viktor Blom is no longer on the same table and has been eliminated.

Justin Young limped in early position and Aleksejs Ponakovs checked his big blind option.

Both players checked through the Q♠4♦6♣ flop and the dealer revealed the 3♦ turn.

Ponakovs began to count out a bet and that was enough to produce an instant fold from Young.

Niveau 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Three ways to the J♦6♣5♣Q♦ turn, the action checked to a player in middle position and he bet 9,500. Kazuhiko Yotsushika called on the button for Kane Kalas to then check-raise the pot for 41,400 total. The third player in the hand tank-folded and Yotsushika then jammed to see Kalas quickly call all-in.

Kane Kalas: J♠J♣7♦4♣ All in
Kazuhiko Yotsushika: A♠K♥10♦2♦

Kalas was ahead with the top set, flush draw and open-ender while Yotsushika had a wrap and diamond draw. The river was the 4♠ and Kalas doubled for 55,900.

Niveau 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Justin "BoostedJ" Smith was a young hotshot in the poker world back in the late 2000s, both online and live. At age 21, he was an up-and-coming star in the game with a bright future in poker.

Smith's stay among the game's elite was short-lived, and he'd been gone from the World Series of Poker (WSOP) for nine years. But on Wednesday, the now 36-year-old returned to the summer series to compete in Event #66: $10:000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship (8-Handed), where he told PokerNews what he's been up to in recent years.

Niveau 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Heads-up to the A♦Q♣5♣10♥ turn, Richard Gryko faced a bet of 5,500 and made it 25,500 to go in the hijack. His sole opponent called and then checked the K♣ on the river. Gryko splurged in a stack of T-5,000 chips for an effective bet of around 65,000 and that forced a reluctant fold.
