Saechao Snatches One Versus Holder

Level 30
Kao Saechao
Kao Saechao

Limit Hold'em

Paul Holder raised from the button and Kao Saechao called from the small blind.

The dealer spread a flop of {7-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and that brought a check from Saechao and a bet from Holder. After a brief hesitation, Saechao called.

The turn was the {6-Hearts} and the action slowed down and went check-check.

The river was a {3-Hearts}, which prompted Saechao to fire out a bet. This sent Holder deep into the tank. After a few minutes, he opted to fold, and Saechao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as he flashed the {9-Spades}{10-Spades} then whirled his cards into the muck.

Razz

Michael Rosenberg: {4-}{2-}/{7-}{q-}{8-}{3-}/{q-}
Anhony Zinno: {7-}{6-}/{5-}{2-}{10-}{4-}/{3-}

The action was picked up on sixth street with Zinno having fired off enough chips to put Rosenberg all-in and Rosenberg opted to call.

"Do you have it?", asked Rosenberg.

"Yes", Zinno politely replied.

The final card was dealt out, but did not change anything, and it was Zinno's six-five-four-trey-deuce that would take it down, which in turn eliminated Rosenberg in 9th place. The official final table of eight players has now been set.

That pot in addition to quite a few smaller pots Zinno has skyrocketed to 4,200,000 in chips.
