Where Did All Those Chips Go?

Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi was cruising during the pre-dinner session, but since then has had a nightmare run, until he managed to triple up in a massive three-way all-in situation over on table 43.

David Briedis raised to 2,000 from under the gun, only to see the player in the UTG +1 position re-raise all-in for about 14,000. The action folded to Mizrachi in late position, who begrudgingly slapped his last 2,800 into the middle. All the others got out of the way and Briedis snap-called.

Briedis: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
UTG +1: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Mizrachi: {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Incredibly, Mizrachi caught a runner-runner full house on the board of {3-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs} to triple up! Briedis, however, picked up more than enough chips in the sidepot and sent the other opponent to the rail.

It's still hard to believe where all of Mizrachi's chips went, but we have a feeling that some of them might have ended up in Briedis' stack, as he's now holding over 75,000 in chips!
