Level 7 : Limits 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Robert Mizrachi bet from the button on a board of 8♦4♥A♥Q♦ and Matthew Valeo called in the small blind. Christopher Vitch then raised in the big blind, and both opponents called.

Vitch bet on the 7♦ river and Mizrachi called, while Valeo also called. Vitch showed 7♣5♠3♥2♠ for a low, while Mizrachi had A♠A♦J♣10♣ for a set. Valeo mucked, and Vitch and Mizrachi chopped up his chips.

"We did the right thing. Did a little of this, little of that, and we had someone in the middle," VItch said to Mizrachi.
