Syzmaszek Wins and Maurer Less, Mizrachi Stuck Between

Kenneth Maurer kicked off the action with a raise on the button which was met with another raise from Matt Szymaszek in the small blind. Michael Mizrachi called in the big blind, as did Maurer, exclaiming his surprise at being raised.

The flop rolled Q♠2♣8♥ and Szymaszek bet, getting a call from both of his opponents.

The turn peeled the 7♦ and again Szymaszek bet, Mizrachi folded, and Maurer made the call. Heads up they both saw the A♥. Szymaszek slowed down with a check and Maurer checked behind.

Szymaszek rolled over the 9♥9♠ and Maurer launched his hand into the much, as Szymaszek's nines were good.
