Mizrachi Scores Knockout in First Hand Back
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Michael Mizrachi raised to 40,000 from late position and faced an all-in from Patrik Zidek two seats over for 410,000. Mizrachi called to put Zidek at risk.
Patrik Zidek: J♥J♣
Michael Mizrachi: 8♠8♥
Zidek held a significant lead with a pair of jacks against Mizrachi's eights, but the flop was ominous as it came 7♠10♣9♦ to give Mizrachi an open-ended straight draw.
The 6♣ was a disaster for Zidek, completing Mizrachi's straight, and he was down to just two outs headed to the river.
The A♥ river was not what Zidek needed to survive, and Mizrachi knocked him out of contention.
