No-Limit Hold'em

The 2010 Poker Player's Champion, Michael Mizrachi, has been eliminated on the first hand of Day 2.

Under the gun, Mizrachi went all in for 7,900 and next to act, David Benyamine called. The rest of the table folded.

Mizrachi: {K-Spades}{8-Spades}
Benyamine: {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Mizrachi took the lead on the flop as it rolled out {K-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Benyamine picked up a few more outs on the {9-Spades} turn and scored the elimination when the {9-Clubs} hit the river, ending Mizrachi's title defense.

Benyamine increased his stack to about 250,000.
