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 {2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop, he didn't expect to be ahead, his {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{J-Clubs} ahead, but looking to dodge more bullets than Phil Hellmuth at a firing range against the {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades} of Sergey Altbregin.

Although Mixer didn't quite swing those hips enough to dodge the {7-Spades} turn, he still had plenty of cards for the redraw, one of which arrived in the form of the {10-Spades} 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.
