Hero Call Pays Off For Zaki

Level 18 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Zach Bruch limped on the button with 108, Justin Zaki called as well with K8, and Joao Simao checked his option with 95.

The flop came 7AQ and all three players checked to the Q on the turn. It was then checked to Bruch who bet out 50,000. Zaki called with his flush draw, and Simao mucked.

The river was the A, and Bruch who had just ten high, fired another bet of 180,000. Zaki sat in the tank, before making the correct call with king high, to take the important pot.
