Zlotnikov Makes Saadon Sweat the Runout

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

Anatoly Zlotnikov opened to 8,500 from middle position and Petko Tsakov called from the cutoff. Yehoshua Saadon defended his big blind and the players went three-ways to the 2109 flop.

Zlotnikov remarked "What is this dealer?" and Saadon asked Zlotnikov how much he had behind before moving out 20,000. Zlotnikov moved all in for his remaining 42,000 and Tsakov folded.

Zlotnikov first peeled his 2 and asked Saadon "Can you beat that?" and Saadon placed his 10 in response. The pair then slowly revealed the rest of their hands card by card until all eight cards were face up.

Anatoly Zlotnikov: A842All in
Yehoshua Saadon: KJ107

Saadon was looking at top pair and Zlotnikov was counting on hitting the turn or river to keep him in the game.

He took the lead as the A was turned and Zlotnikov locked up the double after the 3 completed the board.
