"You think he's gonna die, but he multiplies!"

The turn was the and Mizrachi checked again.
"I bet pot," Mattila said, who fired out 80,000. Mizrachi would have have 48,000 chips behind if he decided to call, but he did so.
The river brought out the 
and Mizrachi moved all in right away. Mattila wasn't happy, and called reluctantly.
"Nuts," Mizrachi announced as he threw his cards face up on the table. He showed 
and took down the pot with a straight. Mizrachi is right back in it while Mattila retains a slight chip lead.
"You think he's gonna die, but he multiplies!" Mizrachi said with a smile as he began stacking his new chips. This final table is far from over!

Hachem Sinks Further

"What did you say?" Hachem asked the announcer who repeated, "Hachem raises to 21,000". Hachem looked back to the table and said, "I thought I heard something else."
The flop came down 
and both players checked. On the turn the 
hit, and again it was checked. The river brought out the 
and Hairabedian fired out 30,000.
Hachem said, "I thought you said "Hachem raises to 21,000 with aces"" as he turned up his 
.
"He's bluffing," Mizrachi said about Hairabedian who couldn't help it but show 
. Hachem was left behind short and will need to double up quickly.
