Zegal Over Seven Figures
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between Jack Bittker in the big blind and Stanislav Zegal in the small blind.
With 39,000 in the center, both players checked the 9♣J♦4♠ flop to the Q♥ turn where Zegal bet 56,000 and Bittker called.
On the river 8♥, Zegal bet 38,000 and Bittker shifted in his seat.
"I was very afraid you were going to jam," said Bittker as he contemplated what to do with his hand.
After a few more seconds he put in the call, only to see Zegal turn over K♥10♣ for a king-high straight. It was good against Bittker's Q♦J♠ for queens and jacks and Zegal climbed to over one million in the counts.
