Defending Champion Mizrachi Gets Off to a Bad Start
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Michael Mizrachi, having recently taken his seat and still surrounded by camera crews, raised to 600 from the small blind. Daniele Sunzeri defended his big blind, and the flop came down J♣9♦K♠.
Both players checked before the 5♦ landed on the turn. Mizrachi bet 800, and Sunzeri stuck around with a call.
Mizrachi then slid out the minimum bet of 200 on the 2♣ river, and Sunzeri quickly called.
Mizrachi tabled 10♦9♣ for a pair of nines, but it was second best to Sunzeri's K♥8♦ for a pair of kings.
