Peter Jetten has the button in Seat 3, and he raises to 225,000. The Grinder reaches for a stack of chips, and reraises the full pot, putting in 755,000 chips. Jetten moves all in, and Mizrachi snap calls, putting himself all in and in danger of being eliminated. With the betting complete, the cards are shown down:

Mizrachi: {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {3-Spades}
Jetten: {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {8-Clubs}

The entire audience stands and begins to cheer, anxiously awaiting the results of this big showdown. Mizrachi is roughly a 2-to-1 underdog, and he needs to improve to stay alive. With the betting complete, the dealer runs the board:

{5-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {6-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}

Mizrachi caught himself a pair, but he failed to get over the hump, and he is eliminated in third place. For his efforts over the past three days, The Grinder will pocket $331,279. There will be no back-to-back bracelets for the Mizrachi family in the Pot-Limit Omaha World Championship.
