The Michael Mizrachi Show

Yes, we know it's become mostly posts about one man over the last twenty minutes or so but Michael Mizrachi is now the chip leader with over 120,000. That's a 600BB stack.

He just won a huge pot where another player called his prefkio raise, "a substantial raise" as Mizrachi put it. Mizrachi was holding {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and set his opponent all in by the turn of the {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} board, his opponent quickly calling with {J-Spades}{9-Hearts}.

Mizrachi only had three outs, but duly pinged the {J-Hearts} on the river to hit the six-figure mark and overtake Martin Finger as the chip lead.
