Aces Hold For Zanot to Bust Katz, Yanovski

David Salituro

Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Leonid Yanovski had a raise of 75,000 in front of him from under the gun and Thomas Zanot then potted in early position. Cary Katz called for 240,000 on the button, while Yanovski also called for around the same around.

Cary Katz: 7♣6♣5♠4♥ All in
Leonid Yanovski: Q♣Q♦5♦5♣ All in
Thomas Zanot: A♦A♥J♥2♣

"Seven-high always wins," tablemate Daniel Perkusic said to bolster Katz's hopes, but it was for naught as Zanot's aces held up on the K♣8♦3♠2♠8♠ board to earn him the double knockout.

"How do aces hold up there? Well, I guess I'll fire another one," Katz said as he headed off to reenter. Zanot, meanwhile, raised his arms up in the air in celebration.

"Whoo, baby! Dominic, I owe you a kiss," he told the dealer as he raked in the big pot.

"Maybe later," Dominic the Dealer replied.

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Jared Bleznick, who has featured on the World Series of Poker (WSOP) livestream, received backlash from some poker fans after comments he made about Monday's Seniors High Roller event during a broadcast.

The sports cards entrepreneur and founder of Blez Sports let it be known while in the commentary booth that he was none too thrilled with the cameras shifting away from the $250,000 Super High Roller to some Seniors High Roller coverage.

This year's daily WSOP livestreams focus mostly on one event, but also dip away at times to catch up on action in other bracelet events. Bleznick, a colorful commentator and accomplished high-stakes player, didn't seem to appreciate the additional coverage on Monday.
