Level 17
: 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Robert Mizrachi limped under the gun for less than a big bet, Joao Vieira raised, Maxx Coleman called in the small, and Austin Marks called in the big.
Four ways to a flop of K♥4♥10♦, both blinds check and Vieira bet, both blinds called.
The turn peeled the 6♠ and facing two checks, Vieira bet again but this time only Marks called.
The river completed with the 5♥ and Marks check-folded.
Robert Mizrachi: Q♣4♣6♦5♦
Joao Vieira: A♥3♥J♠8♠
Mizrachi was unable to beat the nut flush and second nut low and was sent to the payouts.
