Zaatar Picks Off Bluff

Catching the action on the board reading {7-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, Antoine Zaatar was faced with a bet of 16,500 into a pot that had swelled to over 40,000.

Zaatar sat in the tank for near on four minutes before eventually making the call.

Before Zaatar's chips could come to a stop on the felt after he tossed them in, his opponent's cards were instantly thrown into the muck.

Zaatar tabled his {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} as he raked in the pot to move to 97,000 in chips.
