Mizzi: 
Eyster:
According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Mizzi was a 65.59% favorite while Eyster had a 27.04% chance of coming from behind (there was a 7.35% chance of a chop).
The 
flop was great for Mizzi as it gave him the nut-flush draw while at the same time missing Eyster; in fact, Mizzi became a huge 89.70% favorite while Eyster's chances dropped to 8.18%. The turn gave Eyster wheel draw to a five, though the 
would be no good as it'd give Mizzi a flush. A five did peel off on the river and it was the red
