Patience Pays for Zizka
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Zdenek Zizka chose not to call an all-in for his entire 2,780,000-chip stack when he held ace jack against a pair of deuces that showed after the fold.
On the very next hand, Zizka got his chips all in against two players, Javier Swett and Carlos Leiva, under better circumstances.
Zdenek Zizka: A♦A♥
Javier Swett: J♦J♣
Carlos Leiva: A♠K♠
Zizka's aces were the better hand going in and coming out of a runout 9♦3♦9♥3♥7♠, giving him a huge chip boost. Swett won the tiny side pot over Leiva.
