Nick Rampone raises to 12,000 from early position and Michael Mizrachi reraises to 32,000 on the button. Michael DiVita is in the big blind and calls, while Rampone folds.
The flop comes down [Qs10d3c] and DiVita checks. Mizrachi bets 26,000 and DiVita cringes and starts to think.
"Please don’t be suicidal," DiVita tells Mizrachi. "I’d be sad if you were the bubble boy."
DiVita thinks a little while longer and calls. The turn brings the [5c] and DiVita checks. Mizrachi thinks about his options and DiVita again suggests that betting might not be his best option. He offers to show Mizrachi his hand if Mizrachi folds.
"Hey, I don’t know if I want to give you a free card," Mizrachi tells him with a grin. After a little more thought, Mizrachi checks behind.
The river is the [5d] and both players check. DiVita shows [Ad10c] for tens and fives and Mizrachi mucks his cards, wuietly telling himself, "Oh, I should have bet."
Michael DiVita – 430,000
Michael Mizrachi – 65,000
