Sessum and Zurek Off to the Races
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Maurice Sessum opened with a raise under the gun and was soon met by a three-bet to 32,500 from Kali Zurek in the small blind. Sessum responded by four-betting all in for 98,500, and Zurek, who barely had the bigger stack, took her time before making the call.
Sessum: 
Zurek: 
It was a classic flip, and while the 
flop kept Zurek in the lead, it also gave Sessum a wheel draw. The 
turn was a big card, but you wouldn't know it as Both Zurek, who had lost the lead, and Sessum, who had taken it, remained silent.
When the 
completed the board on the river, Sessum gave a little fist pump as the dealer verified the stacks.
