The Death and Rebirth of Robert Mizrachi



XAli Eslami: X X



X Both players check sixth street, and Mizrachi bets 16,000 on seventh. Eslami calls, and Mizrachi prepares to muck. Eslami shows


for a pair of kings, and Mizrachi mucks. Eslami takes the pot, and Mizrachi is down to just 9,000 in chips. That's right -- 9,000 in chips. The limits are 8,000-16,000.
Walter Browne completes to 8,000 with the
showing, and Mizrachi is all in for his last 7,000 (after his ante) with the
showing. They show: Walter Browne:



Robert Mizrachi:


Browne picks up another queen for two pair, but Mizrachi catches two more sevens to win the pot with three of a kind. Mizrachi nearly triples up to 26,000 in chips.
The next hand, Mizrachi commits on fourth street showing

against Tom Schneider's 
. They show: Robert Mizrachi:




Tom Schneider:




Schneider is looking for a jack for his straight, but it's Mizrachi who catches the
, giving him three of a kind to double up again. Robert Mizrachi is back up to 66,000. He's not dead yet.
