Matthew Mizel has put together the biggest stack of the Potomac Summer Poker Open $600 Opener so far, bagging an impressive 1.091 million chips at the end of the flight.

Mizel credited a combination of good fortune and some of his best poker for the big stack.

“I had a lot of luck, and then I played some of the best poker I played, to be honest.”

Mizel said he felt “in the zone” throughout the flight, trusting his reads and making the right decisions at the right time.

“I was just sort of seeing the opportunities and calling when it was right to call, laying down when it was right to lay down, and just everything worked out.”

The cards were certainly cooperating, too, as Mizel managed to hit his draws when he needed them.

“I hit draws when I needed to hit draws. I was just really fortunate the way it worked out.”
