Four-Way Flop Cripples Zand

[user75032]

Dave Zand is on life support. After Nathan Templeton raised to 28,000 from the cutoff, Zand (on the button), Devin Porter, and John Conkright all made the call. A highly coordinated flop of {10-Spades}

came down, and the table tensed for fireworks.

Porter checked to Conkright, who bet 100,000. Templeton folded over to Zand, who raised to 325,000. Porter, who later said he folded A-J, agonized for about 20 seconds before folding. Conkright quickly jammed the rest of his stack in the middle and Zand, with about 200,000 behind, made the call.

Conkright: {K-Diamonds}

Zand:

Trips for Conkright against Zand's open-ended straight flush draw. The turn {J-Diamonds}

made a full house for Conkright, but Zand was still drawing live to a straight flush. The river {7-Diamonds}

made him a straight, but it wasn't enough.

After counting down Conkright's stack and paying him off, Zand is left with only 30,000 in chips.
