Robert Mizrachi Heads Up for His Third Bracelet
The third day of Event #3: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Low started with 49 players and plans to hand out the first non-hold'em bracelet of the 2015 WSOP and a $251,022 first-place prize.
Winner of the inaugural Dealers' Choice event at the 2014 WSOP, Robert Mizrachi continued to prove his limit-game prowess in this event, vaulting into the chip lead as the field was whittled down to a final table and beyond.
By the time 10 levels of play were through, the field was down to heads-up play. Don Zewin, who finished runner-up to Phil Hellmuth in the 2012 WSOP $2,500 Razz, finished third to leave 2012 WSOP Europe €1,650 Six-Handed Pot-Limit Omaha 16th-place finisher Jacob Dahl taking on Mizrachi.
A decision was made to continue for one more level and Mizrachi took the first lead before relinquishing it to Dahl as the level wore on. Play ended with Dahl on 5.085 million to Mizrachi's 1.815 million. Play will resume at 3 p.m. Sunday with both players guaranteed at least $155,333.
Here's how the rest of the final table finished up:
| Place | Player | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | --TBD-- | $251,022 |
| 2 | --TBD-- | $155,333 |
