Paul Zappulla

Paul Zappulla opened to 475,000 with only 25,000 behind. Bobby James in the small blind called, as well as Dechang Zhang in the big blind.

Both James and Zhang checked the 7♣J♠3♦ flop and the 9♦ turn, but on the 4♠ river, James bet 900,000 and Zhang folded. Zappulla waited for the other table to finish its hand before calling.

Paul Zappulla: A♣K♠4♣4♦ All in
Bobby James: K♦10♣6♥5♠

The river gave a set to Zappulla, but also completed a straight for James so Zappulla was eliminated.
