Mizrachi Gives Up On The Turn
Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi is easily the player in this tournament with the most live winnings. To date Mizrachi has won a staggering $14,074,764 and he will be looking to add to that here in Cyprus.
Part of the reason for Mizrachi's huge winnings total is his ability to make big laydowns. He was just in a hand with Suleyman Ciftsuren that demonstrated this; at least we think it does!
Joining the action on a board, Ciftsuren checked to Mizrachi who then bet 4,500. Ciftsurn paused briefly before check-raising to 10,000 and sending Mizrachi into the tank. He stayed "submerged" for around 90-seconds, constantly staring at his opponent in an attempt to gauge the strength of his hand. Eventually he came to the conclusion that Ciftsuren was strong and he folded his hand.
"Ace-deuce," informed Mizrachi in a manner that he was telling Ciftsuren what he held rather than what he thought he held.
"And you ten-nine," bellowed Adi Krispin from across the table to which The Grinder just shrugged.
