With approximately 7,000 in the pot and a board of [Kh, Anthony Zinno was facing a 3,700 bet from his opponent.
"I'm all in," he said softly, pushing his chips forward.
"How much is that?" his opponent asked.
The dealer counted it down and told him that it was 21,175 total. Zinno sat there, his hands resting on each side of his forehead.
"What could he have," his opponent muttered to himself. The call would be for most of his stack. He decided to fold and Zinno moves back above the starting stack.

Jeff Madsen just took his seat and he wasted no time getting involved, opening from under the gun to 250. Everyone folded but the big blind who decided to take a peek at the flop.
It came and the player in the big blind check-called a 350 bet from Madsen.
The turn was the and the player in the big blind again check-called a bet from Madsen, this time for 800.
The river was the and another check from the player in the big blind. Madsen took his time, about 20 seconds, before quietly placing a bet of 1,550 into the middle. A call and Madsen gets good value for his as his opponent mucks and he takes the pot.
