Limit Hold'em

Just before hand-for-hand play began, Michael Mizrachi joked he was due for a bubble in this event after having won it twice. That's exactly what happened after things went downhill for him in limit hold'em.

First, Mizrachi check-called down from the big blind against Isaac Haxton on a board of {8-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Facing a river bet for his remaining chips, Mizrachi opted to fold and preserve for one last gasp.

His last 55,000 went in from the small blind next hand. Haxton snap-called with {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, and Mizrachi helplessly tabled {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. While the two waited for action at the other tables, they discussed the previous hand.

"I had ace-queen with the ace of diamonds," Haxton said.

"I had a pair of eights with a diamond," Mizrachi said.

"Big fold," Haxton said.

It was time to deal the board, and it ran out {5-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Spades}, ending Mizrachi's run on the bubble and prompting the rest of the tables to bag up.
