Mixing It Up
A big pot had already accumulated in the middle, but when Michael Mixer slid his final 7,300 across the line on a flop, he didn't expect to be ahead, his ahead, but looking to dodge more bullets than Phil Hellmuth at a firing range against the of Sergey Altbregin.
Although Mixer didn't quite swing those hips enough to dodge the turn, he still had plenty of cards for the redraw, one of which arrived in the form of the river. That last-ditch straight means Mixer is still alive and kicking, and now has around 45,000 in chips. Russian amateur Altbregin, meanwhile, has dropped to 125,000.
