Middle Cards Not Death for Mizrachi

They say that in a split-pot game like Omaha Hi/Lo, middle cards are death. But Robert Mizrachi must have missed that memo. He made {9-Clubs} {8-Spades} {9-Hearts} {8-Hearts} work in a hand against Chris Ferguson and one other player.

On a flop of {6-Spades} {9-Spades} {q-Clubs}, Mizrachi made middle set and checked. One player bet and Ferguson called before Mizrachi check-raised. Both of his opponents called.

Mizrachi bet the {2-Diamonds} turn and was called by both other players. On the river {10-Hearts}, Ferguson found a fold but the third player did not. Mizrachi's set of 9s was plenty good to take down the pot and increase his count to 76,000.
