Zamani "Follows the Rules" and Shows
Level 26
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Satoshi Tanaka pumped it up to 125,000 in middle position and received calls from both Martin Zamani in the hijack and Scott Vesilek, who defended his big blind. The three went to the flop 
, where Vesilek checked. Tanaka made a continuation-bet of 165,000 and Zamani called, prompting a fold from Vesilek to continue heads up.
Both players checked the turn 
and the river came 
. Tanaka checked to Zamani again and he reached for chips, tossing out a bet of 400,000. Tanaka folded after about 15 seconds.
Zamani tabled 
for flopped quads as the dealer shipped him the pot: "I had to follow the rules," he said.
