Lengthy Hand, No Bustouts
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Anthony Zinno raised to 24,000 from early position and David Merino three-bet to 90,000 one seat over. Oleksandr Trokhymenko four-bet shoved for a bit under 300,000 and Zinno called the shove.
Merino, who had 78,000 behind, took his time as a payjump was looming. After a few minutes, he called off the remaining chips.
David Merino: A♥K♥5♦4♦ 
Oleksandr Trokhymenko: A♠A♦K♦Q♠
Anthony Zinno: Q♦J♦9♥8♥
"Clubs are coming for sure," laughed Julien Sitbon.
The flop was Q♣J♣5♠, giving Zinno the lead with the top two. The 10♦ on the turn improved Merino and Trokhymenko to Broadway, and the 10♣ on the river ensured everyone stayed around.
Merino and Trokhymenko chopped the main pot while the latter dragged the side pot from Zinno.
