Is That a Real Hand?

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action was picked up with Anil Jivani all-in for 350,000 on a pot of around 600,000 and a completed board of 3♥10♥Q♥2♣A♠.

His heads-up opponent, Javier Zarco, was visibly frustrated with the shove.

"Is that a real hand?" Zarco asked as he muttered the action, trying to analyze what Jivani could have.

Based on Zarco's mutterings, action went check-bet-call throughout the hand with Zarco doing the aggression, just for Jivani to shove on the river of a flushy and straighty board.

Zarco threw some chips in for a call. Jivani showed A♣5♥ and Zarco turned over A♦2♦ for a rivered two pair.

Still shaking his head, Zarco fixed his stack, while Jivani headed to the payout counter.
