Owais Ahmed Wins Event #47 ($255,959)

Michael Mizrachi Eliminated in 2nd Place ($158,148)
Owais Ahmed

After the elimination of Abe Mosseri in 3rd place, Michael Mizrachi took a 2:1 chip over Owais Ahmed going into heads-up play. Mizrachi quickly expanded his lead to almost 6:1 with 2,850,000 to Ahmed’s 500,000 towards the end of Level 26 after rivering a straight in the Omaha 8 round.

Ahmed quickly chipped up to even after the break and eventually managed to steal a slight lead himself about halfway through Level 27 before Mizrachi reclaimed the lead after scooping a big pot with queens-up in the Stud 8 portion. The lead went back and forth pretty aggressively throughout the remainder of that level, but Mizrachi closed it out on top with more than 2 million to 1.3 million.

Ahmed won two key pots that saw a showdown in Level 28, first taking the chip lead with two pair (aces and kings) during the Stud 8 round and then crippling Mizrachi in Omaha 8 after scooping a big pot with trips. That hand left Mizarchi on the short stack with just 300,000 to Ahmed’s 3,075,000.

On the final hand of the tournament, Mizrachi button-raised before the flop and Ahmed called from the big blind.

The flop came AClub Suit JDiamond Suit 4Heart Suit, Ahmed checked, Mizrachi bet, Ahmed check-raised and Mizrachi called.

The turn was the 10Heart Suit and Mizrachi got it all in.

Mizrachi: ADiamond Suit QSpade Suit 10Spade Suit 3Diamond Suit
Ahmed: QHeart Suit 10Club Suit 5Heart Suit 3Club Suit

Mizrachi was ahead with two pair (aces and tens) while Ahmed had a live flush draw and an inside straight draw.

The river was the 6Heart Suit, giving Ahmed a flush to win the pot. Michael Mizrachi was eliminated in 2nd place ($158,148) while Owais Ahmed wins the gold bracelet for
Event #47 and the $255,959 grand prize.
