Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Under the gun, Anthony Zinno bet 10,000 into a pot of 14,500 on the 10♣6♦8♠Q♠ turn. John Monnette called in the cutoff, and did so too when Zinno sized up to 34,500 on the 5♥ river.

Zinno tabled A♥K♣Q♣4♣2♣ for nut low with a pair, but Monnette had two pair with A♠10♦9♠6♣3♦ to take half the pot.

Over at another table, Anderson Ireland was all in preflop for his last chips against Jeff Madsen.

Anderson Ireland: A♠Q♦9♦3♠3♦ All in
Jeff Madsen: A♣9♠7♣5♥2♥

Meadsen made a full house on the K♣5♦5♣A♦J♦ board to send Ireland to the rail.
