Top Two Good for Mezrich
Level 3
: 200/300, 300 ante
A player in late position opened to 800 and was called by Ari Mezrich in the small blind as well as the big blind player.
Action checked through the 
flop to the 
turn. Both blinds checked again but this time the late position player did not check behind, instead firing off a delayed continuation of 1,600. Mezrich called and the big blind folded to send action heads up to the river.
On the 
river Mezrich led out for 1,100 and was quickly called by his opponent. Mezrich, who at last year's WSOP finished second in Event #8: $600 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack for a career best $173,960, turned over 
for top two pair, good enough to scoop the pot.
