Koleno and Zappala Take From Majed
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Rene Majed opened to 400,000 from under the gun, and Stanislav Koleno three-bet to 1,075,000 on the button. Both blinds folded, and Majed carefully pondered his next move before letting go.
Majed then defended the big blind against a raise by Francesco Zappala and checked the 10♥10♦8♣ flop. Zappala bet 350,000, and Majed called. Both checked down the 5♣ turn and 8♥ river for Majed to reveal 7♣7♦, which had been counterfeited when the board double-paired. Zappala's A♦6♠ played for the better kicker to scoop the pot.
