Zinno Gets There on the River
Level 38
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
With around 110,000 already in the pot, Anthony Zinno bet 65,000 on a board of 10♦5♥8♣8♥ before Chris Brewer raised to 225,000.
Zinno used a time bank before he called to see the J♣ river. Brewer slowed down and checked and Zinno fired out 325,000.
Brewer smiled and leaned back his chair before he called as Zinno turned over 9♥7♥ for the rivered straight.
"This hand was telling me to fold. I really should've done it, though," Brewer said as he mucked, saying he had J♠9♠.
