Mizrachi Had To Do it

No-Limit Hold'em

On a {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop Michael Mizrachi just checked to Allen Cunningham, with approximately 40,000 chips already in the pot. Cunningham bet 17,000 and Mizrachi opted to raise to 34,500. Cunningham folded his hand and the 2010 $50,000 Players Championship winner showed {4-Spades}{2-Hearts} while uttering the words, "I had to do it."

Mizrachi is doing well on the first day of play and finds himself near the top of the leader board.
