Zakhem Zeros Out an Opponent

With three limpers in the pot in front of him, a player in the big blind moved all in for just over 40,000. Two of the limpers ducked out, but Nicolas Zakhem forcefully announced a call and with a boisterous, "Let's race!" he slapped {2-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}. The big blind tabled {A-Clubs} {9-Hearts}, drawing a repeat, "Let's race, baby!" from Zakhem.

The board was a big sweat but ultimately useless as it ran out {J-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {10-Spades} {6-Clubs}. With his lowly deuces holding up, Nicolas Zakhem has knocked off another player, putting us down to 40 remaining.
