Deeb Not a Sorel-oser

A very large pot played out right off the bat here at the WPT Grand Prix de Paris High Roller Final: Heads Up Stage (to give it its full title). Freddy Deeb raised on the button to 18k, called by Sorel Mizzi in the big blind.

Flop: [4c] [Kd] [3c] Mizzi bet out 24k, and was quickly raised to 75k. He thought for a while before making the call.

Turn: [3h] Now Mizzi checked it to Deeb, who also checked.

River: [Js] Mizzi reached for chips, selected 80k and slowly put it in the middle. Deeb didn’t look delighted, but wasn’t folding quickly.

“All I can beat is a bluff,” he said, twice. Then he called.

Mizzi revealed [Kx] [Tx] which wasn’t in the bluff category – thus he took down that hefty pot and even more of a chip lead – 890k to 355k.
