Huge Pot for Cheong

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

After Tony Gregg and Davidi Kitai checked the {J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop, Sorel Mizzi bet 38,000. Kyle Cheong made the call behind Mizzi, then Gregg and Kitai folded.

The turn was the {A-Diamonds}, and Mizzi fired 76,500. Cheong studied, then called.

The river was the {Q-Clubs}, and Mizzi took a few moments before firing all in. Cheong had 141,000 left in his stack and went into the tank. Eventually, he made the call after a couple long minutes in the tank.

Mizzi showed the {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for just a pair of fives. Cheong showed the {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} for aces and jacks, and he won the pot.

Jason and Others Wheeled Out the Door

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Jason Wheeler was down to a little more than ten big blinds when he found a hand to make a move. Sorel Mizzi came along for the ride and took the scalp.

Wheeler had 64,000 and raised 62,000 of them. Mizzi was in the next seat and called. Both players threw in the extra 2,000 chips as the flop fanned out {3-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

Wheeler opened {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and said, "Of course!" as he saw Mizzi open {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for two pair.

The board ran out {10-Spades}{9-Spades} to confirm the American grinder's exit.

Cold Four-Bet from Lewis

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
