Zizka Comes Back from the Dead
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Armin Rezaei opened to 1,000 in middle position and was called by the button. Zdenek Zizka shoved all in for his last 5,200 from the big blind and Rezaei reraised to 10,000 to force out the button.
Zdenek Zizka: 2♥2♣
Armin Rezaei: A♥A♦
Zizka was ready to get out of his seat until the flop of J♠9♠2♦ hit the felt to give him a set of deuces. The K♠ and 3♠ runout changed nothing as neither player held a spade.
On the next hand, Zizka found himself all in and at risk again with KxQx against his opponent's pocket nines. The board ran out clean until the K♦ spiked the river and Zizka doubled up once more.
