Andrew Hulme and Michael Mizrachi hadn't just been battling all day at the feature table after being together on the outer table they have shared since Day 2 kicked off.

Pre-flop, Mizrachi opened to 10,000 from under the gun. He was called by Hulme on the button and one other player. On a flop of {8-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, Mizrachi made it 16,000 and only Hulme called. The turn was the {K-Diamonds} , and Mizrachi made it 45,000 after Hulme checked.

Hulme made the call, but on the {Q-Clubs} river, Mizrachi's move all-in put him into the tank. With action paused on the other side of the room, everyone inside the 888Live room seemed to hold their breath. Eventually, Hulme called with {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}....but was shown Mizrachi's {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and that was good enough to take it down.

"I got him," said Mizrachi as we spoke to him about the hand afterwards. "He was good. I didn't think he'd bubble. I have 530,000; now I can win."

Mizrachi and Hulme went to war at the felt for most of 24 hours, but one man has prevailed -Michael Mizrachi. He has every chance of taking down this 888Poker London Live Main Event.
