Masse Mirza Surging
Masse Mirza's start to the tournament didn't go as planned. His stack dwindled down to around 8,000 in chips. His fortunes more recently have been much better.
First with about 2,500 in the pot, Mirza open-jammed for 7,250 on a 
flop. Jari Hurri tanked for a bit before he reluctantly called. Hurri shook his head when he saw his 
was behind Mirza's 
.
The board completed with the 
on the turn and the 
on the river to give Mirza a double up.
About 10 minutes later, we witnessed another big hand by Mirza. Mirza checked after the flop came 
. Jon Kyte led out for 1,200. Hurri folded before Mirza called.
The action was checked to Kyte once again after the 
double paired the board. Kyte this time bet 1,500 and Mirza called.
Mirza then led out for 4,350 after the 
completed the board on the river.
Coolbet has been handling out plush dice that have poker sayings like call, fold, raise, etc. Mirza had one handy and after Kyte was thinking for a minute tossed his die over to his opponent.
Kyte then raised to 10,500 and Mirza instantly three-bet shoved for 15,100. Kyte thought for a bit before he folded and Mirza's stack went from zero to hero in a matter of minutes.
