Mizzi Takes a Huge Pot Off Hougaard

Sorel Mizzi

From middle position, Sorel Mizzi raised to 16,000 and Isaac Baron called from late position, as did Jesper Houggard in the big blind.

The flop came {Q-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {8-Spades}. Houggard checked and Mizzi made a continuation bet of 33,000. Baron folded and Houggard check-raised to 105,000. Mizzi thought for about a minute before moving all in for 317,000. Houggard called.

Houggard: {Q-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {10-Spades} {9-Hearts} for the current nuts with a straight. Also, he has top two pair for a redraw to a full house.

Mizzi: {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {9-Spades} {8-Clubs} for top and bottom pair and the nut straight draw.

A crowd of players from the other table gathered around to watch the end result of the massive pot.

The turn was a blank, the {A-Clubs} not changing much, but the river brought the {J-Spades} to give Mizzi the flush and the pot.

Mizzi doubled up to 660,000 to take the chip lead while Hougaard moved back a bit to 227,000.
