Mizrachi Flops the World

Ryan Lashmar

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action was picked up on the turn with the board reading 9?7?6?2? and a sizable pot already brewing. A player in early position bet 12,000 and Robert Mizrachi made the call from the hijack. A player on the button raised to 42,000 and the early position player called for less, putting himself all in and at risk.

Action was back on Mizrachi, who moved all in for 109,500 sending the player on the button, who slightly covered Mizrachi, deep into the tank. After about a minute the button made the call to put both of his opponents at risk.

Early Position: A?5?
Robert Mizrachi: 10?8?
Button: 6?6?

In what can only be described as a cooler, the button had flopped a set, the early position player had flopped the nut-flush draw and Mizrachi had flopped a straight with a redraw to a straight flush. The river was the 8?, and Mizrachi's ten-high straight was enough to secure a colossal triple up, eliminating one opponent and catapulting Mizrachi near the top of the counts in the process.
