Match 1: Nearly Even

Aubin Cazals raised to 18,000 on the button and Warwick Mirzikinian called from the big blind, delivering a {J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop.

Mirzikinian checked, leading to a Cazals bet of 25,000. A check-raise was on Mirzininian's mind as he popped it to 75,000. A call from Cazals landed the {4-Spades} turn where Mirzikinian bet another 75,000. Cazals called again, landing the {10-Hearts} river. Mirzikinian bet a cool 100,000, enough to get Cazals to give it up.
