I see Daniel Negraneu is down to 3000 chips already and Sammy Farha has over 40K early.
Some really big poker names in that room today.

Negraneu has doubled up and is around 7K.
How about this, Michael "the grinder" Mizrachi sends a guy home early when he cracks his AA with 2-3?!?! I am sure some of the better card players here will tell me what a great move it was, but how the hell you get in a pot, let alone for all your chips, with 2-3 I have no idea.

maybe the guy with AA either limped in or the guy was in the BBwith 2/3 and AA made a minimal raise...and they guy caught a set or str8 on the flop
Listen PenguinFan I know Micheal "The Grinder" Mizrachi personally he if from South Florida and a very good friend of mine. He is a great reader and makes many moves.
I remember this kid when he used to deal to us at a private game down here in FT Lauderdale years back . Him and his brother Rob Mizrachi.
Dont be surprised if he is in the Final Table this year BOYS

Just read somewhere that small preflop raise, and then 9-2-3 hit the board. Good call Rev.
negreanu is out.
I love it when guys don't bet AA correctly and get busted by trash.
Jack, I thought you were going to wear your Madjacks shirt???? WTF??

There is no such thing as a good call with 2-3, not even if your in the small blind and just have to complete. With 2-3 you are behind EVERY other hand pre-flop. PLEASE do not try to defend any play with 2-3, I just can't take it seriously.
Lineguy, I have nothing for or against Micheal, just commenting on the play. I have only seen him play one time on TV at the WPT event where he came off as a pretty arrogant jerk, but one TV appearance can make you look like anything they want. I remember watching Antonio Esfandari once on TV thinking he was a decent guy when in all actuallity he is a pretty big A-hole.

:sadwave: that sucks. one of the few guys id actually like to see make the final table. love the way he plays.
as for the 2/3 issue. i know where penguinfan is coming from. but if you can get in for cheap, i dont think its necessarily an awful play to see the flop. now if youre gonna keep fishing on the turn and the river to improve your 2/3, then its a garbage play that is tough to defend. but when you come in for cheap with 2/3 and and innocuous flop of 9-2-3 comes out, you can really do some damage with it. if youre calling raises with it or seeing it to the river, yeah- its a terrible move. i dont know the whole circumstance. but i know some solid players who love coming into a pot cheap with baby suited connectors. not my style, but when it hits, thats when aces can (and apparently did) get cracked.

Title: ALWAYS PROTECT YOUR HAND
Log: This tournament has just had two simultaneous, brilliant examples of why you see players putting chips and various other objects on top of their hole cards. It's not just for show.
Instance #1 - With the board showing A-J-8-J-2 a player with a made full house (8-8 in his hand) decides to posture for a bit. He stands up, and acts as if he's got a difficult decision to make. Finally he sits back down, picks up his cards, puts them in front of his chips, and starts to count out his bet. As he's counting, the dealer takes his cards and slides them into the muck. The man disputes the call, and the floor is called. The floor reinforces the dealer's explanation: it is the player's responsibility to protect his or her hand. Once a card has been mucked, it cannot be retrieved. The hand is dead.
Instance #2 - Meanwhile, on another table, just as the dealer is explaining to the player in seat #1 that he should always protect his hand, the player in seat #2 attempts to fold, and accidentally tosses them on top of seat #1's cards. The floor's ruling is the same: always protect your hand. If your cards touch mucked cards, your hand is also dead. The player in this case was forced to leave his $200 call in the pot. In a show of remorse, seat #2 attempts to reimburse the man for his lost $200 bet, and although the floorman respects the decision, he also states that chip exchange is also illegal, and cannot occur.
In both instances, all parties involved handled themselves with dignity and respect for tournament staff, despite the potential for emotional outbursts.

penguinfan and gman2 make 2 good points
2-3 is a crap hand and should never be played since its probably the worst hand you can have in poker and your behind from the get go.
But if you can get in cheap with 2-3 and it doesnt cost u a lot then see the flop and then go from there.
personally i would throw away the hand even if i could get in cheap.

The Grinder is down to about $5000
Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi was involved in a hand with three other players. All four limped into the hand to see a flop of Qc-3c-2s. The player in the big blind bet out $1,000 and Mizrachi was the only one that called. The turn was the Queen of spades, and the player in the big blind pushed all in. The Grinder called and his opponent turned over pocket 2's, giving him a full house. The player in the big blind doubled up through The Grinder and now sits on approximately $5,600 in chips.
