Mizzi Gets There

We don't know exactly how the action went before the flop, but we do know some significant raising took place between Sorel Mizzi and a player in late position. With around 6,000 in the pot before the flop, Mizzi's opponent was left with around 7,500. The dealer fanned the {10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop and Mizzi pushed forward a bet that would put his opponent all in. The late position player quickly called and cards were tabled.

Mizzi: {A-}{k-}
Opponent: {9-}{9-}

The turn brought the {Q-Clubs} giving Mizzi a straight draw along with his pair draw. The {j-Hearts} on the river indeed gave Mizzi the straight and his opponent was sent packing. Mizzi now sits around 75,000 in chips.
