Zolotow Spikes the River to Double Through Brandt
Level 26
Limit Hold’em
Steve Zolotow raised first-to-act and was called by Lawrence Brandt in the big blind.
Brandt checked to Zolotow, who bet on the 2♥3♦4♦ flop. Brandt then check-raised and Zolotow called.
Brandt bet on the Q♣ turn and Zolotow thought a bit before committing his last 145,000 into the middle.
Steve Zolotow: A♠K♠
Lawrence Brandt: J♥4♥
Zolotow would need some help against Brandt’s pair of fours, and the K♣ river did just that — pairing Zolotow’s king and awarding him the double up.
