Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Michal Zimani three-bet to 3,500 pre-flop and was called by Francesco Di Profio in the big blind and Max Rotko in middle position.
The flop came 
and action checked to Zimani, who continued for 6,000. Di Profio quickly folded, but Rotko tanked for a moment before sliding the rest of his stack in the middle.
Now it was Zimani's turn to tank before he reluctantly committed his last 15,000, turning over 
. Rotko had 
for top pair.
"He only plays three hands. He told you that," a tablemate told Rotko heading to the turn, which came the 
to improve him to trips. The river was the 
and Zimani headed to the exit after having his aces cracked.
