Straight in to Action

MarcC

Michael Mizrachi was heads-up with a player in the small blind. The river had just been dealt giving us a board reading {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{5-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

and there was already 27,000 in the pot.

The small blind checked to face a 10,000 bet from Mizrachi. He went into the tank as this call would be for a good chunk of his remaining stack. He separated the amount needed to call from his stack, looked at the board once more and made the call.

Mizrachi quickly turned over {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

for the straight. His opponent tapped the table and mucked his hand.
