The Grinder Battling Back

Before the break, Michael Mizrachi lost a coin flip when his {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} lost out to {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} when a {K-Spades} hit the board. Mizrachi was down to 375 chips.

But in the two hands just before the break, Mizrachi doubled up twice. On the first hand he pushed all in with K-J and hit a king. On the very next hand, he got his {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} to hold up. He's now up to 1950 chips.
