Defining Moment

As defined by Merriam-Webster's online dictionary, the word 'roller-coaster,' when used as an adjective, means:

/ marked by numerous ups and downs <an entertainer's roller–coaster career> /

So it's very safe to say that the last thirty minutes have been very roller-coasterish for Sorel Mizzi, who's just given a good portion of what he just won from Kosta Varoxis right back to him.

Varoxis open-shoved all in from under-the-gun for his last 550,000 and Mizzi moved all in over the top in an effort to isolate Varoxis. Both blinds folded and a showdown ensued:

Mizzi: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Varoxis: {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The {Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop was a great one for Varoxis, as it gave him an open-ended straight draw. The turn -- {10-Spades} -- was even better, as it gave him the outright lead in the hand. The river blanked an inconsequential {4-Hearts} and Varoxis doubled up to 1.25 million in chips.

Mizzi was left with 1.65 million after the hand.
