Zobian Doesn't Have to Worry About Pay Jumps
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Russel McClean raised to 20,000 in the hijack before Aram Zobian three-bet to 75,000 on the button, leaving around 10,000 behind. McClean then moved all in.
Zobian checked the tournament clock to see when the next pay jump was and discovered it wasn't for another nine spots. "Do you think I can make it?" he joked with his tablemates before committing his extra chips.
Aram Zobian: K♦Q♠ 
Russel McClean: A♦10♥
The 6♥9♠2♠ flop kept McClean in the lead, but Zobian caught the K♠ on the turn to make top pair. The river was the 8♣ and Zobian doubled up.
