Michael Mizrachi was down to one last card in this tournament, but he found the card he needed. After J.J. Liu opened for 2,500 and was called by a player in late position, Mizrachi moved all in for 12,500. Liu called the raise; the third player called all in for roughly the same amount, leading to a three-way showdown.

Liu: {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

Mizrachi:

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

Opponent:

{A-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

Liu looked good on a {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

flop and even better on the {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

turn. But this is a game with five community cards, not four, and it was the fifth that changed things around. The {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

hit the river to give Mizrachi a pair of kings. He dragged the whole pot to climb to 40,000. Liu is down to 90,000, and the third player is out.
