Zlotnikov Doubles Through Veiga
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Diego Romero opened to 85,000 from middle position and was called by Diogo Veiga in the hijack. Anatoly Zlotnikov then squeezed to 240,000 from the small blind — leaving himself just 15,000 behind. Romero got out of the way, but Veiga raised again to put Zlotnikov all in.
Zlotnikov declared his intention to stall a bit in the face of a pay jump, but eventually committed his remaining chips into the middle.
Anatoly Zlotnikov: A♦A♥10♥6♥
Diogo Veiga: A♠Q♣Q♠2♦
The board ran out A♣9♦8♦Q♦10♠ — improving both players to sets, but leaving Zlotnikov best with his aces to score the double-up.
