Mizrachi Likes Kalas' "Bad Hand"

Livello 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Action folded to Kane Kalas on the button who raised to 500,000. Eric Mizrachi in the small blind verified the amount before moving all 1,685,000 of his chips into the middle.

"I don't have a good hand", Kalas said.

"I like that", responded Mizrachi.

Kalas seemed to calculate his pot odds and decided to make the call, likely hoping to essentially be flipping against two over cards, but he'd get some bad news when the cards were turned up.

Eric Mizrachi: 10♥10♦
Kane Kalas: 6♠7♥

The flop brought the 8♠10♣K♦ which gave Mizrachi a set of tens but Kalas a gut-shot. the board completed with the 6♣ turn and 8♦ river, both safe for Mizrachi as he secured a full double.
