Mizrachi's River Raise Can't Win This One

Michael Mizrachi
Michael Mizrachi

From middle position, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi raiser to 525. Tafyun Rodoplu called from the button and Rony Jazzar also came along from the big blind, pitting the 2010 November Niner against two players.

The flop came down {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and all three players checked. The turn brought the {5-Spades} to the board and Jazzar fired out 1,100. Mizrachi called and Rodoplu called also.

The river completed the board with the {Q-Diamonds}. Jazzar fired out 1,100, the same bet he led with on the prior street. Mizrachi raised to 6,000. The third player in the hand, Rodoplu, called and Jazzar called as well.

Jazzar tabled the {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts} for top two pair on the flop. His opponents mucked and Jazzar picked up the pot to move to 116,000 in chips. Both Mizrachi and Rodoplu dropped to about 92,000 each.

In case you're wondering who Rony Jazzar is, we can shed some light on that subject. When we were out here last here for the first annual Merit Cyprus Classic, Jazzar took sixth place for a cool $73,535 in the main event.
