Level 6 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

After defending his big blind against a button raise by Michael Mizrachi, Chad Campbell checked his option on the {9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop and Mizrachi bet. Campbell then check-raised to 30,000 and received a call. On the {j-Spades} turn, Campbell fired a bet of 60,000 and Mizrachi eventually folded, mentioning in table chat he had have folded a set of fives.

Campbell flashed the {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for the bottom set and then joked it would have been interesting if Mizrachi had claimed to have folded a set of treys. "I was thinking about that but would never do it," Mizrachi grinned back.
