Joyce Cracks Zidek's Set to Double up
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Savov Plamenov opened to 5,000 from middle position and was three-bet to 25,000 by Philip Joyce in the cutoff — leaving himself just 5,500 behind. Patrik Zidek called cold from the small blind and Plamenov folded.
Zidek shoved on the 8♥9♥J♠ flop and Joyce called all in.
Philip Joyce: 7♦7♠
Patrik Zidek: 9♣9♠
Joyce was in rough shape against Zidek's flopped set, but the 10♣ turn improved Joyce to a straight to take the lead.
The 6♣ river bricked out for Zidek and Joyce was awarded the double up.
