Stayin' Alive

Preflop, we saw more action than a Die Hard boxset, and then on the {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop it was as if Steven Segal had entered the room with a machine gun as three players once again capped the betting.

One of those players was Sorel Mizzi, and with just 175 remaining on the {J-Diamonds} turn, he was forced to sit back as his opponents meekly checked down the {9-Diamonds} river, if not with a sense of disgruntlement.

And they were right to be dissatisfied as Mizzi had got there with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} for the rivered straight, only to find that he had pipped not only {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}, but also {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} to stay alive in the tournament. Somehow, he now has 3,600, but may have used up that 'one time'.
