Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Michael Mizrachi
Michael Mizrachi

In a very quick hand, Michael Mizrachi raised to 15,500 from the cutoff which was met by an immediate shove from William Mical for 76,500 in the small blind. Mizrachi placed a stack of 5k chips in front of him to call Mical's bet.

William Mical:Q7All in
Michael Mizrachi:A10

With the ace right in the window on a board of 89A, Mical stood up and put on his backpack ready to depart the tournament area.

As the 9 hit the turn and drawing dead, Mical hit the rail as the meaningless 8 peeled off on the river.
