Sorel Mizzi bet 2,100 on a {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop and Stephen Chidwick made the call. Joni Jouhkimainen raised it up to 5,100 from the button and only Mizzi called.

On the turn the {2-Diamonds} hit and Mizzi check-folded to a 10,025-chip bet from his Finnish opponent.

Mizzi did not seem particularly happy as he asked his masseuse to stop, and with a focussed look he continued to play.
