Mirzikinian Crushing

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

There's a new chip leader in town and his name is Warwick. Warwick Mirzikinian.

We didn't catch the hand that propelled him into the chip lead, but Mirzikinian and Gabriel Nassif relayed it to us.

Apparently, after a raise and a call, a player reraised to 9,100 from the big blind. Mirzikinian was the only caller.

The flop came down {5-}{4-}{2-} and the player in the big blind put out a bet of 9,100 before Mirzikinian reraised to 22,000. The big blind player jammed all in and Mirzikinian called. Mirzikinian was holding {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the flopped nut straight while his opponent held {K-}{K-} for an over pair.

The turn cam a {2-} pairing the board so the player with {K-}{K-} picked up outs, but he bricked off on the {J-} river, allowing Mirzikinian to pick up a huge pot after flopping the nuts. With that, the clear chip leader in the room was established as Warwick Mirzikinian.
