Michael Mizrachi left for dinner with 20,000 chips. Shortly after his return he’s now up to nearly 150,000 thanks to two key pots. The Grinder campaign lives strong as the PokerStars Blog writes.
Michael Mizrachi opened from under the gun, Phillip Mighall called in middle position, and Nicolas Chouity defended from the big blind. The dealer fanned 
, Chouity checked, Mizrachi continued for 2,000, and Mighall raised to 5,000. Chouity folded, Mizrachi re-raised to 8,000, and Mighall folded deuces face up.
Mizrachi laughed heartily, then showed the other two deuces. The Grinder is now up to 140,000 chips.
