Mixson Misses Out on a Double-Up
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
There were already around 3,000,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 5♠A♠6♠ when Cameron Mixson bet 350,000, leaving himself just 150,000 chips behind. Mauro Juarez shoved, and Mixson was in the tank for quite a while as the next player eliminated would miss out on a pay jump. Eventually, the clock was called and Mixson made the call with a few seconds to spare.
Cameron Mixson: A♦8♦ 
Mauro Juarez: Q♥Q♦
Mixson was in prime position to double up and just needed to fade a queen to stay alive.
Things got interested on the 2♠ turn as it put four spades on board, and a fifth landed on the river as the 10♠ meant both players were playing the board.
