Michael Mizrachi

Action folded around to Michael Mizrachi on the button and he raised to 700. The big blind looked him up and they took a flop heads up.

The big blind checked dark as the flop fell {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{3-Diamonds}

{2-Clubs}

. Mizrachi bet 725 and after considerable deliberation, the big blind tossed out the call. He checked dark again and the {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

hit the turn. Mizrachi checked behind and the river came the {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

.

The big blind checked, possibly dark again, and Mizrachi confidently pushed out 1,250. His opponent made a reluctant fold and "The Grinder" took down the pot without a showdown. He now commands a stack of just shy of 25,000 and has his sights set on Day 2.
