Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi
Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi

No-Limit Hold'em

With 18,000 in the pot and a board reading {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{3-Spades}, Michael "The Grinder Mizrachi, who won this very event in 2010, fired out 8,800 into Lyle Berman, who contemplated the call from the button. After some reflection, he put in the call and the river cards came down the {4-Clubs}.

Mizrachi checked, as did Berman, and the former rolled over {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and said, "I gave you a heart draw."

Berman smiled a bit and flashed the {K-Hearts}, adding, "You didn't want a heart." He then sent his hand to the muck and Mizrachi took down the pot.
