Mintz on Fire

Level 23 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

It's been the Ben Mintz show here in the early minutes of Level 23 as he has nearly climbed to 2 million in chips.

Most recently Mintz raised to 28,000 from the hijack and then snap-called when Joseph Alesna moved all in for roughly 300,000 from the small blind.

Mintz: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Alesna: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

It was a flip, but the way Mintz had been running it seemed a forgone conclusion the flop would help him. Sure enough, the {5-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop did just that. Mintz refused to look at the board until the {5-Clubs} turn and {K-Hearts} river completed it, and then he happily raked in yet another hefty pot.
