Hellstrom Busts; Zackey Doubles
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Kosta Kotsikaris won three big pots early in the day and the last one saw the elimination of Anders Hellstrom in a preflop contest.
Hellstrom got it in with the J?J? only to run smack dab into A?A?. There was no upset on the 10?7?3?10?7? to send the Swede to the rail.
At the same time one table over, Warren Zackey check-raised the A?J?10? flop and jammed the 9? turn for 68,000. Jehan Richards reluctantly called and was shown the A?J?. Richards shook his head and flashed the K?K?, needing a king or queen to score the knockout.
The river was the 7? and Zackey doubled to leave Richards short.
