Grinding His Gears

Michael Mizrachi completed the bring-in with his {3-Diamonds} showing. Next door, an opponent raised, Cary Katz called, and Mizrachi joined them in a three-way pot.

Mizrachi: (x-x) / {3-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {8-Spades} / (x)
Opponent: (x-x) / {10-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {7-Hearts} / (x)
Katz: (x-x) / {8-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {5-Spades} / (x)

Mr. Opponent bet fourth street and found two calls, and Mizrachi bet his lead on fifth. Call-call. The action repeated on sixth street with Mr. Opponent and Mr. Katz calling another bet, and Mizrachi fired right back out on seventh street. Mr. Opponent called, but Katz snuck in a river raise. Both men called.

Mizrachi pretty much knew his goose was cooked, but he had to see it out. "I was rolled up," he lamented as he flashed the {3-Spades} {3-Clubs} and mucked his seven cards.

Opponent: {A-Spades} {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts} / {10-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {7-Hearts}
Katz: {A-Hearts} {6-Spades} {2-Spades} / {8-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {5-Spades}

They'll chop up Mizrachi's money, knocking him down to about 4,100 after a quick start.
