Limping Brings Success for Zizka
Level 21
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
With barely any flops in sight and several open shoves going through, the next player to get the chips in was Sirzat Hissou for the last 1,205,000, holding the J♥J♦. Jan-Peter Jachtmann was in the big blind and sigh-folded the 9♣6♥ as the tense bubble action rattled on.
Zdenek Zizka then limped the A♥9♥ from under the gun, and Jachtmann limped the small blind with the K♥2♦. Hissou checked the 9♣7♥ in the big blind. They all checked the A♠6♠6♦ flop, and the 4♥ came on the turn. Jachtmann bet 300,000 to get rid of Hissou, while Zizka called.
That led them to the 2♣ on the river, and Jachtmann gave up, knuckled the felt. Zizka bet 395,000, and Jachtmann gave it brief consideration before folding.
