On the last hand, both guys drew 3 cards and, after Martinelli wager pot and Mizrachi called, Martinelli drew one card and Mizrachi 2. Another pot bet came out of Martinelli, however this time Mizrachi repotted, which sufficed to devote the rest of Martinelli’s chips. Martinelli called and, after he drew one, Martinelli needed to feel the weight when Mizrachi stood pat.
With all the draws total, Mizrachi showed up a 9-5 that was going to be difficult to beat. Martinelli had the best start with his 7-5-4-2 to do the task however, as he squeezed the last card, all he might do was unwillingly turn up another 4 that matched his hand. With that, Mizrachi took the champion and his fifth-ever WSOP bracelet.1. Robert Mizrachi (USA), $333,045
