Karakitukov Busts Zinno With Magical Run Out

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Anthony Zinno

The action started with a raise to 7,500 by Veselin Karakitukov on the button and Anthony Zinno three-bet for the size of the pot out of the big blind, making it 24,000 to go. Karakitukov called and the duo headed to a flop of {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Zinno bet 49,500 with around 30,000 behind and Karakitukov reraised, Zinno quickly called all in.

Anthony Zinno: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Veselin Karakitukov: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

"What do you have, just a pair of eights?" Zinno asked and leaped out of his chair to see the cards of Karakitukov. Indeed, the Bulgarian only had a pair thus far, while Zinno had an overpair, open-ended straight draw and flush draw.

However, the {8-Hearts} turn and {A-Clubs} river run out improved Karakitukov to a full house and the 2015 champion of this very event was eliminated towards the end of the first level of Day 2.
