Respect for Mizzi

Sorel Mizzi has just won two reasonably-sized pots in a row, without seeing a flop.

On the first, Dustin Sitar began the action with a raise to 4,500. Howard Lederer made the call from the cutoff seat, and Mizzi reraised them both to 15,300. Sitar quickly folded, but Lederer wasn't so sure. He took a few minutes before finally relinquishing his hand.

On the second, Jonathan Depa came in from under the gun with a raise to 4,200. Hilbert Shirey reraised the full pot, and Mizzi came over the top of two players again, this time all in for approximately 48,000. Both of his opponents tanked hard before they eventually folded their hands in turn.

With those two back-to-back uncontested wins, Mizzi adds a ton of chips to his stack, and now sits with 63,400. Max Pescatori noticed the trend. "Must be nice never showing a hand," he quipped.
