Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Faraz Jaka
Faraz Jaka

Mark Zullo limped the small blind and Faraz Jaka raised it up to 110,000 from the big blind. Zullo announced all in and Jaka snap-called, putting his tournament life on the line.

Faraz Jaka: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Mark Zullo: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The dealer fanned out {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} on the flop and Jaka needed a jack to keep his tournament going.

A {5-Diamonds} turn and {8-Diamonds} river failed to improve Jaka's hand as he was sent out in third by the higher kicker of Zullo.

Unlikely Action Card Falls on the River

Level 24 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The flop read {10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Spades} and Brock Wilson tapped to Mark Zullo who bet 40,000. Wilson called and the {a-Diamonds} landed on the turn.

Wilson again checked and Zullo bet once more, this time for 100,000 and Wilson called. The {7-Diamonds} completed the board and the two players put all their chips in the middle, Wilson's 466,000 stack being the smaller of the two.

Zullo turned a monster, tabling {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} for a rivered set of hocket sticks but they were no good as Wilson showed {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, giving him a rivered flush and the pot for a complete double through Zullo.
