Hand #219 - Michael Mizrachi

In a limped pot, the two players see a cheap flop of {8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. Check, check. The turn is the {9-Diamonds}. Check, check. The river is the {2-Hearts}. A third check to Michael Mizrachi is the green light for him to bet and take it down.

Hand #218 - Michael Mizrachi

Schmelev raises to 200,000 from the button, Mizrachi raises to 8 million and Schmelev mucks.

Looking quite rattled by Mizrachi's surge, Schmelev heads over to his supporters in the stands and gets a quick pep talk.

Hand #217 - Michael Mizrachi

Michael Mizrachi limps the button, before Vladimir Schmelev raises it up 200,000 more from the big blind. Mizrachi calls.

The flop lands {2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Schmelev leads out for 500,000. Mizrachi makes the call.

The turn is the {Q-Spades} and both players check before the {4-Diamonds} completes the board. Schmelev checks and Mizrachi bets 500,000. Schmelev looks him up but Mizrachi tables {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for the best hand. Mizrachi is on fire!

Hand #216 - Michael Mizrachi

Schmelev opens for 300,000 from the button and Mizrachi calls. The flop is {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Mizrachi checks to Schmelev, who bets 525,000. Mizrachi calls and they go to the turn which falls the {Q-Spades}. Mizrachi check-raise-shoves over the top of Schmelev's 1,000,000 bet and gets a fold to a chorus of "GRIND-A! GRIND-A! GRIND-A!"

Hand #215 - Michael Mizrachi

Michael Mizrachi raises the button to 275,000 before Vladimir Schmelev responds with a re-raise to 1 million from the big blind. Mizrachi quickly re-raises to 8 million to effectively put his opponent all in. The crowd jump to their feet but it's premature as Schmelev folds his hand.
