A Guide to Triple Barreling, With Michael Mizrachi

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

It's common knowledge that Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi isn't a tight player by any means. Mizrachi doesn't care who he faces, he just does what he does. And not many players can match Mizrachi's abilities to apply pressure. He just proved it once again in a pot that involved nine-time WSOP Circuit winner Valentin Vornicu.

The two tangled in one of the traditional button-versus-big-blind battles. Mizrachi was in position with the betting lead, and he kept firing all the way through the {7-Spades}{J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} board. Vornicu check-called 1,200 on the flop, then check-called another 3,500 on the turn. On the river, though, Mizrachi pulled out the third barrel worth 8,000. Vornicu spent some time thinking, but eventually let it go. He still has a big stack, and so does Mizrachi.
