Mizrachi Increases Chip Lead

Robert Mizrachi

Walking by Robert Mizrachi's table, we noticed a massive 50,000-chip pot in the middle of the table and a bet of 40,000 cut out in front of Mizrachi on the button.

According to Scott "yaboystu" Stewart, Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin bet 16,500 on the river with the board reading {J-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}. Mizrachi then raised to 56,500. Baldwin tanked for some time before making the call.

Mizrachi tabled {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts} for the wheel and all Baldwin could do was muck his hand and say, "I'm so sick." He's down to about 55,000 while Mizrachi soars up to 355,000. He is by far and away the chip leader.
