Unstoppable Selvakumaran Claims Another Victim
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Ian Bradley made it 2,500 to go in the cutoff, which Laurent Vauquelin called on the button. Zdenek Zizka then three-bet jammed for 8,500 from the small blind.
Mahersh Selvakumaran asked for a count before he made a small four-bet. Bradley and Vauquelin folded in quick succession, leaving Zizka and Selvakumaran to show down.
Zdenek Zizka: K♣J♦ 
Mahersh Selvakumaran: A♦10♣
Zizka turned a straight draw on 5♣Q♣2♦10♥, but Selvakumaran's pair remained ahead on the 5♠ river. He eliminated Zizka and saw his stack cross the 400,000-mark.
