Mizrachi Doubles Through Mandel
Scott Mandel opened for 65,000 and Robert Mizrachi called in the small blind. They saw a flop.
Flop:
Mizrachi checked and Mandel bet pot - 154,000. Mizrachi now shoved for less than 300,000 total, and Mandel swiftly called.
Mizrachi: for a pair of queens
Mandel: for a pair of kings
Mizrachi was in need of some assistance from the board.
Turn:
No help there. Mizrachi needed a queen, a jack or an ace.
River:
The Mizrachi rail went wild as their boy doubled up to 740,000. Mandel had an expression on his face that can only be described as 'gutted'. He dropped to 640,000.
