Mizrachi Drops

Level 1

Pot-Limit Omaha

Just before the break...

We picked up the action on a {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop that Michael Mizrachi, Justin Smith, and John Monnette all checked. The {8-Hearts} hit the turn and Mizrachi's bet of 3,000 forced Smith to fold. Monnette, though, popped it to 13,300. Mizrachi mulled it over for about a minute before calling, seeing the {K-Diamonds} land on the river.

Mizrachi checked and Monnette bet 24,700, sending the defending champion into the tank for about two minutes into the break before folding.

Mizrachi is down to 112,600, while Monnette is up to about 158,000.
