Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi
The player under the gun limped, Jordan Farmar also limped, then Robert Varkonyi raised to 2,300. "Family's over," said one of the players on the other side of the table. "It was an accident," joked Varkonyi, feigning as if to bring back his raise.
It folded around to Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi who called from the big blind. The UTG player also called, and Farmar folded.
The flop came , and Mizrachi wasted no time firing out a bet of 3,000. The UTG player thought a long while, then folded. Then Varkonyi went into the tank. He had just 9,000 left, less than the 17,500 Mizrachi had behind.
After a couple of minutes, Varkonyi emerged and let it go. Mizrachi tossed his cards face up to the dealer -- -- and Varkonyi appeared to say "ace-king."
Mizrachi is up to about 26,000. Farmar is still up above the rim with close to 80,000.
