Six-handed, with the blinds at 2,500-5,000 with a 500 ante, Mizrachi raised to 13,500 from middle position, Parker called in the big blind. On the flop, Parker checked, Mizrachi bet 18,000, Parker called. On the turn, Parker checked, Mizrachi checked. On the river, Parker bet 20,000, Mizrachi called.
Parker defended with his suited one-gapper out the blind and managed to flop a four-flush. Parker opted for a check-call rather than a semi-bluff, and Mizrachi offered a continuation-bluff of two-thirds the pot. The turn gave Parker a gut-shot straight draw, as well, and he probably was intending to check-call once again, but Mizrachi slowed down, checking behind. Parker missed his numerous outs on the river, but made a play for the pot with his busted draw. Since Mizrachi appeared to be making a bluff on the flop and indicated weakness on the turn, Parker correctly suspected a busted draw bet on the river had a lot going for it. Parker mimicked a value-bet, but the size was so small that Mizrachi snap-called with his ace high, as he only had to call another 20,000 for the 88,000 pot. Mizrachi dragged in the small pot, while Parker was still quite comfortable with a deep stack of 80 big blinds.
