Zaki Holds to Leave Two Opponents Short
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
In a preflop confrontation, Justin Zaki was all-in for 96,000 from the cutoff, Shannon Shorr was all-in for 109,000 from the small blind, and they were up against David Coleman who covered both players from the big blind.
Justin Zaki: A♦Q♦
Shannon Shorr: A♠8♥
David Coleman: K♥J♥
The board ran out 10♣5♣2♥A♣5♥. Both Zaki and Shorr held two pair, aces and fives, and Zaki's kicker played to secure a full triple up. Shorr took the considerably smaller side pot, and both he and Coleman were left severely short-stacked.
