The Death and Rebirth of Robert Mizrachi

Robert Mizrachi: X X {9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} X
Ali Eslami: X X {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{A-Spades} X

Both players check sixth street, and Mizrachi bets 16,000 on seventh. Eslami calls, and Mizrachi prepares to muck. Eslami shows {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a pair of kings, and Mizrachi mucks. Eslami takes the pot, and Mizrachi is down to just 9,000 in chips.

That's right -- 9,000 in chips. The limits are 8,000-16,000.

Walter Browne completes to 8,000 with the {J-Diamonds} showing, and Mizrachi is all in for his last 7,000 (after his ante) with the {A-Clubs} showing. They show:

Walter Browne: {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Robert Mizrachi: {10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{A-Clubs}

Browne picks up another queen for two pair, but Mizrachi catches two more sevens to win the pot with three of a kind. Mizrachi nearly triples up to 26,000 in chips.

The next hand, Mizrachi commits on fourth street showing {8-Hearts}{2-Clubs} against Tom Schneider's {Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. They show:

Robert Mizrachi: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Tom Schneider: {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

Schneider is looking for a jack for his straight, but it's Mizrachi who catches the {J-Spades}, giving him three of a kind to double up again.

Robert Mizrachi is back up to 66,000. He's not dead yet.
