El Capitano Eliminates Another

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

John Capitano raised to 200,000 in the cutoff, which only Mikhail Zaitsev called in the big blind.

Zaitsev checked on the K♠4♠6♦ flop, but when Capitano continued for 150,000, Zaitsev check-raised all in for 690,000. Capitano snap-called, and the cards were tabled.

Mikhail Zaitsev: 6♣5♠ All in
John Capitano: K♣J♠

The runout brought no help to Zaitsev, bringing his deep run to an end.
