Paul Lieu Eliminated in 26th Place ($34,260)

Action folds around to Paul Lieu in the cutoff and he moves all-in for his last 147,000.  Sorel Mizzi is in the small blind and asks for a count, explaining to Lieu, "I think I have to call."

Mizzi takes a good twenty seconds to deliberate before calling with [Ad9h].  Lieu is live but trailing with [KcQh].

The [AhQd10d] flop pairs up both players, but keeps Mizzi ahead in the hand.  The [2h] comes on the turn and the river brings the [10h], giving Mizzi aces up and the pot.

Sorel Mizzi – 1,070,000 (89 BBs)
Paul Lieu – eliminated in 26th place ($34,260)

After the hand, Stephen Chidwick is moved into Lieu’s empty seat in order to balance the tables.
