Zobian's Shove Shuts Down the Opposition

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

A player in middle position open limped, and got calls from the cutoff and button.

Aram Zobian moved all in for his last 42,000, and the original limper went into the tank. After asking for a count on Zobian and thinking for a few moments, however, the player folded.

The two remaining players followed suit, and Zobian took down the pot uncontested.
