Kaverman Sends Zinno to the Rail

Level 7 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Anthony Zinno
Anthony Zinno

From early position, Byron Kaverman opened with a raise to 19,000. Johannes Becker called from middle position and Anthony Zinno called in the hijack seat.

The flop was {8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Kaverman checked to Becker who put out a bet of 25,000. Zinno thought for a bit then made it 75,000. Kaverman dropped into the tank. After using his first time extension, he made it 185,000. Becker quickly folded and Zinno moved all in for just a bit more. Kaverman called quickly.

Anthony Zinno: {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Byron Kaverman: {A-Spades}{7-Spades}

The {5-Spades} came off on the turn and that gave Kaverman his flush that he was looking for. Zinno needed the board to pair but it didn't on the {7-Diamonds} river. Kaverman took down the pot and moved to nearly 800,000 while Zinno exited the tournament area.
