Mizzi Ups the Pressure - First All In Move of Heads Up
Fuelled by dinner break sushi, perhaps, Sorel Mizzi has come back with an eye to putting pressure on his shorter-stacked opponent. Following the 50k won by Deeb with a flop check-raise just a moment ago, Mizzi performed the very same move, check-raising Deeb's 30k bet on a flop to 77k and taking that pot.
Immediately thereafter (Hand #149), there came a truly big decision for Freddy Deeb. Mizzi had raised on the button to 20k, as is happening regularly, and Deeb re-raised to 70k. Back to Mizzi, who asked the, "How much do you have?" question. The answer came, "About 350," and about 20 seconds after that (the whole time during which Mizzi fixed his opponent with an unblinking stare) he announced, "All-in."
Deeb passed.
