Time Runs Out for Mizzi

Some drama on the very last hand of the night, folks.

Daniel Makowsky limped from under the gun, Nikolay Evdakov raised pot to 7,200, Sorel Mizzi called from the big blind, and Makowsky called as well.

The flop came {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Mizzi bet pot, Makowsky raised all in, and Evdakov folded. Immediately, Evdakov called the clock on Mizzi, a response of sorts to some of the earlier bickering about stalling. Mizzi complained that he had a legitimate decision to make, but the clock was enforced nonetheless.

Mizzi made the call, showing {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a set of jacks. Makowsky showed {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Spades} -- he'd flopped a king-high straight.

The turn was the {A-Hearts} and the river the {K-Clubs}, and Mizzi was eliminated. Makowsky is now up to 397,500, and may well be the chip leader heading into Day 2.
