Mizzi Gets Much Needed Chips

Level 7 : 200/400, 0 ante

Sorel Mizzi was down to just about 2800 when he won a hand that essentially doubled him up. Mizzi was in the big blind against an early position opponent and Joe Tehan who limped from the button. Mizzi checked his option and the players took a flop of {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Clubs}. Mizzi led out for 400, the middle position player called, and Tehan raised to 800 on the button. Mizzi called, and the other player folded, leaving the pros heads up. Both players checked the {5-Spades} on the turn and Mizzi bet 800 on the river, the {10-Hearts}, which was nearly his whole stack. Tehan called, and Mizzi said "full house" tabling {a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} which was enough to take the pot. Mizzi now has around 5,000.
