Mizrachi Doubles Through Ferguson

Three players limped, then Chris Ferguson raised to 3,600 from the button. Michael Mizrachi then reraised to 9,700 from the small blind. The others folded, and after Ferguson asked for a count of Mizrachi's chips, he made the call.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, and Mizrachi pushed the rest of his chips in the middle. Ferguson called.

Mizrachi: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Ferguson: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Both had heart flush draws, but Mizrachi's was the better one. The turn and river were the {Q-Spades} and {6-Spades}, and the Grinder's aces carried the day.

Mizrachi has vaulted up to about 85,000, while Ferguson has slipped to 40,000.
