Mizrachi and Dunaway played 18 more hands before a winner was crowned
Mizrachi entered heads-up with 196 BB, John Wasnock with 37 BB.
In the final hand, with an effective stack of 30 BB, Wasnock opened preflop and Mizrachi defended his big blind. Both connected with the board: Wasnock made two pair, while Mizrachi had a flush draw. They both checked, and Mizrachi completed his flush on the turn — all of Wasnock’s chips ended up in the middle.
