Event 4: Sorel Soars

East Coast Championship
$7200 + $300 (NL)

Sorel Mizzi

Uri Kadosh open-raised from the button and after the small blind dropped out, Sorel Mizzi (Toronto) made it 2,200 to play from the big blind. Uri then four-bet to 7,200. After a bit of think-time, Sorel kicked it on up to 15k straight. Uri thought a couple of seconds, then made the call. The flop came T 7 2 with two hearts. Sorel wasted no time and moved all-in. Uri asked for the count and it was 25,800 back to him. He tanked for a few minutes. He had Sorel covered, but not by much.

After agonizing for a bit, Uri tossed in the chips to call. Sorel rolled over pocket Kings (no heart). Uri rolled over T♣5♣ (??) for top pair. Uri would need a Ten or 5 to take this pot, but the last two came A 4 and Sorel doubled up to ~80k.

Uri was left with ~4k and busted out soon after. "Action Bob" Hwang (Clark, NJ) was moved over from table 8 to fill his empty seat.
