Semin Doubles Through Zinno

Level 19 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

Stud

Mikhail Semin: {j-Hearts}{4-Clubs} / {j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} / {x-}
Anthony Zinno: {j-Clubs}{6-Spades} / {j-Spades}{a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades} / {x-}

Anthony Zinno bet on fourth and Mikhail Semin had a decision, as he was sent deep into the think tank before eventually calling all in for the last 48,000. Both showed jacks and Zinno was ahead with an ace, he also blocked a six for Semin. However, Semin spiked one of the remaining sixes on sixth to take the lead, and Zinno peeled the {7-Clubs} on seventh. Semin, guaranteed the double already, rolled over the {2-Clubs} and once again doubled his short stack.
