Zinno Makes a "Tight Fold," Then Doubles Monnette

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 250 ante

After the draw, Anthony Zinno bet. Usman Siddique moved all in over the top of the bet. Zinno then folded an eighty-seven low face up.

"That was a tight fold," he said after the hand.

On the next hand, Phil Hellmuth opened with a raise to 3,500. Zinno made it 11,000 before Monnette moved all in for just over 18,000. Everyone folded, including Hellmuth, but Zinno called. Monnette stood pat, while Zinno pitched in one card, showing a {10-} face-up. Monnette had {10-}{9-}{7-}{6-}{5-} for a ten-low. Zinno showed {5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}, having broken the best hand. He did not improve with his draw, either, pulling a {Q-} to give him a worse low. With that, Monnette doubled up, while Zinno was left with a short stack.
