Mizzi Climbing

A player on the button raised to 250 and received calls from the small blind and Sorel Mizzi in the big. The small blind proceeded to check the {4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop, Mizzi bet 550, and the original raiser folded. The small blind then check-called the bet, saw the {J-Spades} hit the turn, and bet all in for his last 1,150. Mizzi made the call and the cards were turned up.

Mizzi: {10-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Small Blind: {10-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{4-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The small blind had turned a decent wrap with a flush draw, but at that point Mizzi's jacks were ahead. With so many cards left in the deck that could change the scenario, it was amazing that the {9-Clubs} peeled off and changed little. Mizzi improved to jacks and nines to win the pot and leave his opponent reaching for a rebuy chip.
