Zaki Wins the Race to Double
Level 15
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Joey Weissman opened to 55,000 from the cutoff, and it folded to the small blind Justin Zaki, who three-bet to 330,000, leaving just 75,000 behind. Weissman made the call.
Both players checked to the river on the 5♦K♣6♦J♦J♥ runout, before Zaki bet his last 75,000, which Weissman called.
Zaki tabled A♣K♥ for top pair, and Weissman tossed 9♥9♦ into the muck to give Zaki the double up on the bubble.
