Match 1: Mirzikinian Takes The Lead

Warwick Mirzikinian limped blind on the button and Aubin Cazals checked his option. The flop fell {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Cazals bet 9,000. Mirzikinian called to see the {Q-Hearts} turn which Cazals checked. Mirzikinian bet 25,000, Cazals called, and the {A-Hearts} river fell. Another check from Cazals led to a bet of 100,000 from Mirzininian.

Cazals pondered for about 60 seconds before he called, but he quickly mucked when Mirzikinian tabled {2-Spades}{2-Hearts} for a full house.
