Robert Mizrachi raised from the button to 85,000 and then action fall to Case Steely in the small blind. Steely looked at his cards and then moved all in. Brandon Hall folded out of the big blind and Mizrachi asked for a count. The total all-in bet was for 495,000.

"I think I'm forty percent." said Mizrachi... "I call."

Mizrachi tabled {K-Clubs} {J-Hearts} for one overcard against Steely's {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}.

The flop was dealt {A-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}, adding a straight draw to Mizrachi. Steely did hold two blockers with his pocket queens.

The turn was the {2-Clubs}. Steely stood a few feet away from the table watching with his hands on his head in anticipation.

The river was then dealt and the {Q-Diamonds} hit the felt! Steely bent at the waist as Matt Savage announced that Mizrachi had hit a straight on the end. Mizrachi looked sorry for Steely as he got up from his seat and shook his hand, wishing him a good game. Steely looked completely distraught with what had just occurred.

Immediately following the elimination, Hall asked Mizrachi for a chop based on how many chips each had. Hall currently has 2.835 million and Mizrachi has 4.205 million.
