Big Friendly Pot Between Azor and Mizrachi

"We are friends, I'll show him," Ran Azor just said after he beat Michael Mizrachi out of a very big pot. Mizrachi took a massive early chip lead, but Azor has taken over control. He's now well into triple digits.

The board read {2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} when Mizrachi bet 10,000. Azor raised it up to 30,000 and Mizrachi went into the tank for a long time.

"Aces with the nut flush draw on the turn?" Mizrachi asked himself before eventually laying his {J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{x-}{x-} down.

Azor showed the {A-Diamonds}, and Padraig Parkinson responded that everyone knew he had that card.

"He was bluffing," Erich Kollmann said. "I had the queen-high flush myself."

Azor wasn't done showing his cards and also turned over the {4-Diamonds} and the {A-Hearts}. Mizrachi got shown what he thought his opponent had, and saved himself some chips. Both players are still the biggest in the room, and Azor jokingly said that they needed their own table to play at.
