Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Sorel Mizzi

With the board showing {8-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and about 20,000 in the middle, it checked to Sorel Mizzi who fired a bet of 12,000. His lone opponent went into the tank for about a minute, then finally made the call.

Mizzi paused, and his opponent showed {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} for trip nines, at the sight of which Mizzi mucked his cards. "I had to think," said the victor, and Mizzi nodded, acknowledging that he'd thought well.

Mizzi slips a bit but still has about 56,000 with a half-hour left to go tonight.
