At another table, Michael Mizrachi had opened to 20,000 under the gun and Mike Gorodinsky three-bet to 65,000 in the hijack. Mizrachi called and the flop came A♠10♥8♠.

Gorodinsky continued for 60,000 and Mizrachi announced a raise of 2,000,000, well enough to put Gorodinsky all in for his last 450,000. Gorodinsky didn't take too long before folding.
