Sorel Saved by the River, Benyamine Ground Out, Mizrachi Makes a Profit

Pot-Limit Omaha:

Sorel Mizzi limped under the gun, and Michael Mizrachi limped from middle position. From the small blind, David Benyamine asked Mizzi how much he was playing before clicking the pot button. Mizzi called, leaving himself around 30,000 behind, and Mizrachi called as well.

The flop fell {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}, and Benyamine checked. Mizzi moved all in, and the Grinder flatted. Action back on the Frenchman, he moved all in over top for just over 100,000. Mizrachi wasn't thrilled about it, but he shrugged and made the call. "I hope you have aces," he said to Benyamine. "I do."

Showdown

Mizrachi: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Benyamine: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Mizzi: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

"I got outs," said Sorel, who was covered by both players. Mizrachi's bottom two pair was in the lead, but Benyamine was far from dead yet. The {10-Hearts} on the turn gave Mizzi a host of extra outs. But he got there without them when the {9-Diamonds} on the river made him a set. "See, outs, outs. That's all I need." Mizzi came from behind to triple up. And Mizrachi took what was left of Benyamine's stack. When the giant pot was sorted, Benyamine was already halfway to the parking lot, Mizzi was back in the mix with around 100,000, and the Grinder restacked 340,000.

Robert Mizrachi quickly came over to check on his brother, asking him in Hebrew how much he had, but the Grinder said he wasn't exactly sure and kept on stacking.
