Zaleski Loses Last Crumbs

Level 6 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
John Zaleski
John Zaleski

James Chen raised in the hijack, and John Zaleski committed his last 5,600 in the cutoff. Charles Phillips called on the button, and James Obst followed suit in the small blind.

Chen also tossed in the required chips for a call, after which the players checked through the entire Q46105 board.

Zaleski revealed AKJ8 for just ace-king high. Obst showed AJ99 for a pair of nines, winning the high as Phillips took the low part of the pot with his AK83.
