Mizzi Pushes Hansen Out

Level 5

No-Limit Hold'em

Sorel Mizzi raised to 2,500 in the cutoff and Gus Hansen called from the big blind.

The flop fell {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Hansen checked. Mizzi bet 3,700, but watched Hansen pop it to 11,100. We didn't hear the amount of the exact raise to come, but Mizzi threw in a 25K chip. Hansen, though, made it 33,300 to go. Not to be outdone, Mizzi made it 45,000 to play and Hansen finally surrendered the pot.

Mizzi - Up to about 190,000
Gus - Down to about 170,000
