Mizzi's Airball Sends Him To Rail

[user67765]

Sorel Mizzi, during Event #2

In a battle of the blinds Sorel Mizzi and Qui Nguyen went to war on a flop of {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

.

There was already around 20,000 in the pot when Nguyen checked to Mizzi who moved his last 22,000 into the middle. Nguyen made the call and tabled {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{5-Spades}

for top pair and a gutshot straight draw, to be well ahead of Mizzi who had nothing but imagination with his {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

.

The turn was the {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

and river the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

and the young gun is eliminated as Nguyen storms up the leaderboard to now sit with 240,000.
