button in SafariZabiyakin Felts Ulloa On the First Hand
On the first hand of the day, Gerardo Ulloa raised to 1,200 from the button and Ivan Zabiyakin three-bet to 5,200 from the small blind. Ulloa made the call.
Zabiyakin continued for 3,600 on the J♥6♣3♥ flop, and Ulloa called once more.
The 6♥ paired the board and Zabiyakin fired a second barrel of 8,000. Ulloa wasn't going anywhere, continuing via a call.
With around 45,000 in the middle on the 4♥ river, Zabiyakin bet approximately 25,000. Ulloa then moved all in for 83,000, sending Zabiyakin deep into the tank.
Zabiyakin burned through a couple of time banks before announcing, "Call," and sliding his chips into the middle. Ulloa said, "Good call," and tabled K♠J♠ for a pair of jacks. Zabiyakin revealed A♥K♦ for the ace-high flush, sending Ulloa to the rail on the very first hand of the day while getting off to the dream start himself.
