Mizrachi Finally Loses A Hand
Everytime we've walked by Michael Mizrachi's table, it seems like he's picking up chips. Well, we finally saw Mizrachi falter in one of the first hands back from the break. Action started with an open limp to 600, and Mizrachi raised to 2,100 on the button. It folded back to the raiser, who called, and the two went heads up to a flop of 
It was checked to Mizrachi, and he fired out 2,000. He was quickly called, and the turn brought the 
. Mizrachi's opponent once again checked called, this time to the tune of 5,100. The river brought the , and Mizrachi's opponent moved all in for 7,000. Mizrachi reluctantly called, and was disappointed to see his opponent table 
. Mizrachi flashed 
for a lesser two pair, and sent the chips over to his opponent.
Mizrachi is still plenty healthy with 18,000, but with the blinds going up quickly, he will need to get some more chips soon.
