Mizzing No Opportunity

Sorel Mizzi extends his lead, putting Freddy Deeb on under 300k for the first time for a while. Two hands which helped get him there:

Hand #158: A limp-checked flop coming {2-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}, prompting no further betting there, but a 15k bet on the turned {3-Diamonds} from Deeb (button). Mizzi called and the river fell the {6-Hearts}. Mizzi checked again, Deeb bet again (45k) and Mizzi called. Deeb said he held a Nine, while Mizzi's {2-} {6-} had leaped ahead on the river to take the pot.

Hand #160: Deeb raised to 22k on the button, called by Mizzi. As seems to be the trend at the moment, both players declined to bet the {9-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {10-Hearts} flop, but on the {9-Hearts} turn Mizzi led for 25k*. Deeb made it 55k, and Mizzi called. The river was the {Q-Spades}, and while both players quickly check, neither want to show their hand! "Nothing?" asks Mizzi, and Deeb shakes his head. He showed an Ace and took the pot.

*Betting this amount involves throwing in one of their huge plaques which travels about as far onto the felt and makes as much noise hitting it as a brick. A long way from the delicate click of the chips, but it's something different, and everyone seems to like the tradition.
