“Five in a row,” Jon Brody said within earshot of a reporter. “Why don’t you put that in your little blog?”

Brody was referencing his recent results here at Seminole Hard Rock, where he says he’s cashed in each of the last five events he’s played. These were his prior results from this series:

Event 1: 198th place ($695)
Event 9: 232nd place ($1,228)
Event 13: 6th place ($3,600)
Event 14: TBD
Event 47: 4th place ($1,134)

Event 47 was not a trophy event, but it’s still quite an impressive effort from the local grinder. His biggest claim to tournament fame was a runner-up finish in the a $2,000 WSOP event in 2003, and he has more than $550,000 in total live cashes.

On the first hand of hand-for-hand play, the bubble burst in Event 14.

Anthony Spinella opened to 5,600 under the gun, and the player on the button moved all in for 6,100 total. Stepan Gusak three-bet to 17,400 in the big blind, and Spinella called the remainder to create action on the side.

Both live players checked through the flop, and the turn was the . A bet of 12,500 from Gusak was enough to fold Spinella out of the way and cue the showdown:

Gusak:
Button:

Gusak already had the pot locked up with an unbeatable full house, and the river was the meaningless .

With that elimination, the 36 remaining players are all in the money. Each of them will earn at least $1,014 this evening, with a trophy and a top prize of nearly $33,000 reserved for the winner.

Just the tail end of a pot here, but one worth mentioning.

Justin Liberto’s table recently broke, and his new seat is not a great one by any measure. He’s now on the direct right of Michael Mizrachi, who is playing the majority of pots and amassing quite a chip stack.

In the most recent hand, Liberto (cutoff) and Mizrachi (button) were heads up on the river of a board. Liberto checked, and Mizrachi bet 35,000 into a pot of about that much. Liberto tanked and called with , but Mizrachi showed to win the pot with trip kings.

Mizrachi is dragging pots so fast he can’t even stack the chips in between them, but it looks like he’s closing in on the 300,000-chip mark in a hurry.

Michael Mizrachi – 270,000 (135 bb)
Justin Liberto – 52,000 (26 bb)
