Pantoja Knocks Out Mizrachi

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Robert Mizrachi ended up all in and at risk preflop for around 70,000 with the {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Felipe Pantoja had the dominating pocket pair in {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}.

The board of {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} brought no upset, and since neither player had a diamond in the hand, Mizrachi headed to the payout desk.
