Elias Takes from Zambanini

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Darren Elias opened to 1,600 from the cutoff, and his only customer was Matthew Zambanini on the button.

Elias put in a continuation-bet of 1,700 on the A♣9♦7♥ flop, and Zambanini came along for the ride. He then took initiative when checked to on the 6♣ turn, betting out for 3,500. Elias called, and the K♥ river was dealt.

Action went check-check, and Elias tabled A♦Q♣ for the winner.
