Mizrachi Staying Aggressive Before Last Break
No-Limit Hold'em
Before the break last level, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi kept up his well-known aggressive ways by raising preflop on the final three hands of the level pre flop in no-limit hold'em. Here is the action from those hands.
On the first hand, John Hennigan limped from under the gun, and Mizrachi raised to 3,100 from the hijack seat. Justin Smith called on the button, then action folded to Jason Mercier in the big blind. He three-bet to 12,700, Hennigan folded, Mizrachi folded, and Smith called. The flop came down 
, and Mercier bet 11,100. Smith folded, and Mercier won the pot.
On the very next hand, Mizrachi opened with a raise to 2,200 from early position. George Danzer called from the hijack seat, and Hennigan called out of the big blind. The flop came down 
, and action checked around to see the 
land on the turn and pair the board. After Hennigan checked, Mizrachi bet 4,000. Danzer and Hennigan folded, and Mizrachi won the pot.
Then on the next hand, the final hand before the break, Mizrachi raised to 2,100 from under the gun. Troy Burkholder three-bet to 5,000 in the cutoff seat. Hennigan called from the small blind, but Mizrachi increased things even more with a four-bet to 20,000. Burkholder and Hennigan both folded, and Mizrachi won the pot.
