Mizrachi Firing Away in Limit Hold'em

Level 17 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Limit Hold'em

Michael Mizrachi just played a furious series of limit hold'em hands that resulted in first a big loss and then a big net win.

First, Ian Johns and Mizrachi both checked a {7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop, and Johns fired on the {7-Hearts} turn. Mizrachi called, and Johns bet the {k-Diamonds} as well. Mizrachi raised.

"You got a king, you're the man," Johns said as he tossed in a call.

"You got it," Mizrachi said, throwing {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} into the middle. Johns took it with {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.

The next hand, Mizrachi raised and called a three-bet from Matthew Ashton, who had the button. Mizrachi check-called a {9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop and both checked the {5-Hearts} turn. Mizrachi bet the {j-Spades} river, and Ashton called but couldn't beat {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}.

Mizrachi three-bet the next hand after Johns opened, and he won it with a bet on the {9-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop. "The Grinder" showed the {10-Clubs} and raked in the pot.

Then, Mizrachi raised on the button. Ashton reraised in the small blind and Mizrachi called. Ashton bet the {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop and Mizrachi called. Ashton slowed down on the {8-Hearts} river and check-called a bet from Grinder. He did the same on the {5-Hearts} river, and Mizrachi showed {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, winning with top pair.

Negreanu Rips It

Level 17 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Talal Shakerchi was first to act and opened with a raise to 42,000. Daniel Negreanu called as did Gary Benson.

The flop came down {9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Benson checked to Shakerchi. Shakerchi put out a bet of 75,000. Negreanu announced pot, and Benson quickly folded. Shakerchi folded promptly as well and Negreanu took down the pot.

"I think if you had the same hand as me you would've played it the same way," Negreanu said to Isaac Haxton after the hand.

"Depends on what you had," Haxton said.

Razz

Ivo Donev completed with a {5-} and expressed surprise when he got action from Scott Seiver holding a {j-} and bring-in Shaun Deeb, who had a {q-}. Donev caught good right away and continued betting, but Deeb stuck around with a {7-} after Seiver mucked.

Donev: {x-}{x-}/{5-}{3-}{7-}{4-}
Deeb: {x-}{x-}/{q-}{7-}{3-}{k-}

"I show you," Donev said on fifth. "Very big hand."

Nonetheless, Deeb continued calling. Both players checked on the end, with Deeb pounding the table forcefully and mucking to {9-}{9-}{8-} for an eight-seven.
