Zizka Turns the Perfect Card to Double Through Bayout
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Three players saw the turn on a board of 10♠J♠2♣Q♦ and with around 350,000 in the pot. Zdenek Zizka and Josef Gulas checked from the blinds, causing Axel Bayout to fire 225,000 out of the cutoff. Zizka called before Gulas jammed for around 1,500,000. Bayout folded, and then Zizka instantly called for his 900,000 total.
Zdenek Zizka: K♠9♠ 
Josef Gulas: 9♣8♣
Both players turned a straight, but Zizka's king-high straight had a lock on the hand. Zizka improved to a meaningless flush on the 8♠ river, and he doubled up to 2,400,000.
