Zoller Prepares for Departure, Doubles Instead
Level 15
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Charles Zoller wasted no time in getting his short stack of 58,000 into the middle from under the gun and was put at risk by Pascal Pflock, who three-bet the button.
Charles Zoller: K♦10♣ 
Pascal Pflock: A♠K♠
Zoller was already preparing for his departure before the 3♣2♣5♣ flop made him slow down a little as he picked up a flush draw. It wasn't the flush that Zoller connected with on the turn, but the 10♠ propelled him into the lead and left needed to hit an ace or a four that wasn't a club.
None of those outs showed themselves on the 7♠ river, which meant Zoller got off to a great start.
