Choppin' Up and Chippin' Up

Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi is crushing souls left right and center and we almost witnessed another victim being sent to the rail, but fortunately the poker gods showed some mercy this time around.

The player in the UTG +1 position raised to 800 preflop and the action folded around to Mizrachi who was the only caller from the small blind, making it heads-up to the flop of {8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}. Mizrachi checked, letting the UTG +1 player led out for 2,500, but he came back with a check-raise of 5,000 total. The opponent snap-shoved and Mizrachi insta-called.

Mizrachi: {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}

The turn and river blanked out {4-Spades}, {3-Clubs} - chop it up!
