Zaki Gets Hooked
Level 19
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Luan Nguyen opened the action with a raise to 30,000 in middle position and saw Justin Zaki three-bet to 89,000 in the hijack. Action folded back to Nguyen and he called.
The flop fell and Nguyen led out, betting 140,000. Zaki went into the tank for several minutes, considering his options before shoving for around 300,000. Nguyen immediately called and covered Zaki to put him at risk.
Justin Zaki:
Luan Nguyen:
Nguyen had flopped a set and got Zaki to commit it all. Zaki was unable to connect as the turn and the river completed the runout to give Nguyen a full house and earn him the pot. Stacks were briefly compared to confirm that Zaki's entire stack was to go in the direction of Luan, and Zaki was eliminated from the tournament.
