Zazay Looking to Continue Good Run

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

In August 2015, Omar Zazay won the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship event for $1,000,000.

Zazay is here playing this event, and just now he won a big pot to move up amongst the chip leaders.

The player in Seat 1 raised preflop to 1,200 from middle position. Zazay three-bet to 4,100 from the cutoff seat, and his opponent called. The flop was {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, and Seat 1 checked to Zazay, who bet 2,600. Seat 1 called.

The turn was the {a-Diamonds}, and both players checked. On the {10-Diamonds} river, Seat 1 decided to bet 2,600. Zazay took a few moments to count out a raise and made it 8,600 to go. Seat 1 folded and Zazay scooped up the pot.
