Zamani Rivers the Nuts and Gets Paid
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Martin Zamani potted to 70,000 on the button and Jun Weng defended his big blind.
On the Q♥10♥3♠ flop, Weng check-called a bet of 45,000 from Zamani.
The turn brought the 2♦ as Zamani fired again for 75,000, and Weng called once more.
Weng checked a final time on the 9♠ river. Zamani announced a pot-sized bet of 410,000, sending Weng into a small tank. He counted out the chips and announced call. Weng got the bad news as Zamani tabled K♦J♦4♣2♣ for the rivered nut straight, and he dragged a huge one.
Weng was left with 125,000 and eliminated a couple hands later.
