Zarco's Ascent Continues
Level 12
: 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Javier Zarco opened to 6,000 from middle position and faced an all in for 38,000 from a player in late position. Zarco did not appear entirely happy about it but did make the call with the bigger stack.
Late Position Player: 
Javier Zarco: 
Though not at risk, Zarco was dominated and would need significant help to come from behind to eliminate his opponent. No help came on the 
flop but the 
turn brought the miracle card he sought. Needing to fade jacks and aces, he did just that after the 
landed on the river to send his opponent home in cruel fashion. Zarco, meanwhile, has emerged as one of the big stacks in the room.
