Cowboys Unkind to Zayneh

[user66118]

Chip leader Dory Zayneh opened the pot with a raise to 3,000. Richard Blaas then moved all in, well-covered by the big stack. Zayneh asked for a full count, and the dealer broke down the stack, announcing the total of 34,425. Zayneh quickly called, turning over {K-Clubs}

. Blaas was in bad shape, tabling {A-Clubs}

.

The board ran out {8-Clubs}

. Blaas found an ace to snatch the pot, doubling up to just about 70,000. Zayneh is hardly crippled though, still leading the pack with 190,000.

Following the hand, a few of the players, including Tino Lechich and Luke Santo, were a bit peeved at the way Zayneh handled the all in. They asked why Zayneh didn't just snap-call, having a massive stack. Zayneh explained, "That's how I like to play," further defending his play by saying he prefers to have the chips counted out before the hand, rather than have to get a count after being beaten out of a pot.

The way Zayneh is carving up his tables today, whether or not he asks for a count should be the least of his opponents' concern.
