The Eagle Has Landed
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
The action started before the flop with Steve Zolotow raising to 5,500 from under the gun. The action folded around to Dragos Trofimov who moved all in for 160,000. Zolotow made the call and was at risk of his tournament life.
Steve Zolotow: 10♦10♣
Dragos Trofimov: A♣J♦
Zolotow needed to fade an ace or a jack to stay alive. The flop came K♦3♣4♥ Zolotow in good shape heading to fourth street.
"No deuce" said Zolotow as a turn card of the 5♥ hit the felt.
No deuce indeed was the outcome as the 5♦ paired the board and Zolotow was able to take the pot down with his pocket pair of tens.
