Opening Event Runner-Up "Metis996" Doubles Against "Zavor4ik"

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 125 ante

Latvia's "Zavor4ik" opened from early position before calling a three-bet to 6,955 from Switzerland's "metis996". "Metis996" has already found success this festival finishing in second place in the $109 XL Blizzard Event #1: Opening Event for $14,993 as part of a heads-up deal.

"Zavor4ik": {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
"Metis996": {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

"Zavor4ik" was drawing to just two outs. The {10-Spades} on the river wasn't one of them and "metis996" got a double-up.

A couple of hands later, "metis996" dusted off the remaining 3,400 that "Zavor4ik" had left in his or her stack. "Zavor4ik" opted not to rebuy and is one of the tournament's latest casualties..
