Mizrachi knocks Hellmuth out of the heads-up championship

The decisive hand between champions produced a cooler. Phil Hellmuth got J♥️(♥️, while Michael Mizrachi had K♦️9♦️. Hellmuth bet $6000, Mizrachi raised to $32k. Already on the J♦️8♣️K♥️ flop both made a pair. The 2025 WSOP Main Event champion bet $30k, his opponent called. After the 9♠️ turn Hellmuth went all-in, to which Mizrachi instantly responded, growing the pot to $808k. The K♣️ came on the river, Mizrachi made a full house and advanced to the next round of the tournament.

Frenchman Killian Desno also ended his run in the $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship, losing to Bulgarian Dimitar Danchev.

Drop a 😀 — if you wouldn't have been surprised had Hellmuth played the same way with a middle pair, a third pair, and air too.
