Zolotow Swims in Deep Water
Level 19
Pot-Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw)
Maximilian Schindler raised to 16,000 from under the gun, and Steve Zolotow called from the small blind. Zolotow asked for two, and Schindler three. "Three?" said Zolotow. "That's good news. Or it feels like good news." He then led out for 44,000.
"I'll peel," said Schindler, and called. Zolotow took one and Schindler two. "Am I good?" asked Schindler.
"You could be drawing four and still have a chance," replied Zolotow. He asked the dealer what the pot was, and when he heard it was 132,000 was taken aback. "132,000?"
"You're swimming in deep waters," said Schindler. But Zolotow found the courage to bet the 132,000, and Schindler folded.
"Just a bad eight," said Zolotow, shrugging. "A real bad eight."
