Somebody dipped the deck in liquid nitrogen and neglected to tell Michael Mizrachi. Over the course of three brutal hands he was eliminated from today's event. First, he flopped a set of sevens but lost to the straight Jerrod Ankenman made on the turn. Second, in a battle of the blinds he had A-K and ran into the pocket kings of Cy Jassinowsky.

And on his final hand he and Chris Vitch exchanged three bets before seeing a {Q-Spades}

flop. Both players checked, then when the {4-Hearts}

turned Mizrachi check-raised Vitch, who promptly counted out enough chips for a three-bet and pushed them forward. Mizrachi said he was all in and as soon as Vitch said he called Mizrachi said, "You have a set of Queens, right?". Vitch nodded and flipped over {Q-Hearts}
