Mizzi Semi-Bluffs His Way to the Beach

Sorel Mizzi gone
Sorel Mizzi gone

It wouldn't be long before David Benyamine got his chips back in a pot versus Sorel Mizzi after doubling up Ori Miller. Here's how it went down.

On the flop of {J-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}, Benyamine check-called a bet of 13,200 from Mizzi. The turn added the {10-Spades} and Benyamine fired 29,000. Mizzi shoved all in for roughly 80,000 and Benyamine made the call holding a straight with the {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}. Mizzi was on the semi-bluff with his {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}.

He needed a spade that wasn't the {7-Spades} or {Q-Spades} to make a flush or a queen to make a broadway straight. The river couldn't find any of his outs when the {2-Clubs} fell and Mizzi saw his tournament come to an end. Just let Filippo Candio, Mizzi is not relegated to the beautiful beaches of Cyprus. Benyamine is back on top now with over 300,000 chips.
