Mizrachi On a Run of Epic Proportions

Michael Mizrachi- Overwhelming chip leader
Michael Mizrachi- Overwhelming chip leader

Well it doesn't seem like anyone will be stopping Michael Mizrachi today. He is on an unheard of heater, and he's knocked out two of the biggest names left in the tournament on his way.

In the first hand, action folded around to Mike Matusow on the button, and he shoved his last 20,000 in the middle. Action folded to Mizrachi, who instantly made the call. Mizrachi tabled, {k-Spades}{10-Spades}, which was miles ahead of Matusow's {10-}{2-}, and Mizrachi held to win the hand.

Just a few hands later, we heard a huge commotion from Mizrachi's table, so we went over to hear what happened. Karina Jett let us know that on a flop of {a-}{j-}{4-}, David ODB Baker was all in holding {a-}{q-}. He was in great shape, as Mizrachi held a measly {10-}{8-}. The turn kept Mizrachi in the hand, coming a {k-}. Mizrachi started chanting for a queen, and sure enough, a {q-}spiked on the river. The table and their rail exploded, while Baker stood up and laughed off the ridiclous beat.

After that hand, Mizrachi stands with about 180,000, which is a quarter of the chips in play with two tables left.
