Sorel Mizzi Eliminated in 2nd Place (AU$1,000,000)

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 0 ante
Sorel Mizzi - 2nd Place
Sorel Mizzi - 2nd Place

Ami Barer opened with a raise from the button and Sorel Mizzi announced that he was all in. Barer snap-called and Mizzi, who is the only player to make the final table of the Aussie Millions Main Event twice, discovered the bad news.

Mizzi: {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Barer: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

Mizzi had run smack dab into Barer's pocket rockets, but that didn't stop his supporters — which included Liv Boeree and Antonio Esfandiari — from calling for diamonds. "Shine bright like a diamond," they began to chant, though they were silenced when the flop came down {2-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Hearts}.

Mizzi was left in needed of either running queens or eights, but the {3-Hearts} turn took away any chance of that happening. The inconsequential {A-Diamonds} was put out on the river to give Barer a full house, and Mizzi has to settle for runner-up and a AU$1,000,000 consolation prize.
