Michael Mizrachi Eliminated in 2nd Place ($158,148)

Michael Mizrachi
Michael Mizrachi

Omaha 8

Michael Mizrachi raised preflop and Owais Ahmed made the call to see a flop of {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. Ahmed then check-raised Mizrachi's bet and was called.

On the {10-Hearts} turn, Mizrachi check-called all in as all the spectators almost rushed the stage trying to see what was happening.

Mizrachi showed {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for aces up against Ahmed's {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for a gutshot and flush draw. Mizrachi could double up as long as he avoided a deuce, heart or king while Ahmed would chop with any six to eight to make a low.

The river was the {6-Hearts} making a flush and the low for Ahmed and his supporters erupted in celebration. Michael Mizrachi came incredibly close to winning his second bracelet today, dominating proceedings all the way up until a very swingy heads up match that really could've gone either way.

'The Grinder' will have to wait until another event before he takes another shot at bracelet number two.
