Two Pots for Zizka
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Thierry Gogniat raised to 50,000 in the hijack, getting blinds Zdenek Zizka and Enrico Coppola along to the Q♥4♠6♦ flop. After two checks, Gogniat continued for 45,000, which only Zizka called.
Zizka check-called again when Gogniat bet 75,000 on the 2♣ turn, after which the Q♦ river was checked to showdown.
Zizka tabled 8♥8♦, and was shipped the pot as Gogniat could not beat it.
One hand later, Zizka was on the button and heads up against Bruno Fuentes in the cutoff. With about 250,000 in the pot, both players checked the A♦3♥Q♦A♥ turn.
Fuentes also checked the subsequent J♠ river, but Zizka took the aggressive route with a large bet of 235,000. Fuentes spent some time in the tank, using one of his time banks before settling on a fold.
