Round of 32: Zinno Gets Lucky
Anthony Zinno and Joseph Stiers got it all in on a 
flop.
Zinno: 
Stiers: 
Stiers was way ahead with a superior flush draw and high card, and the 
turn did nothing. An 
fell on the river though, giving Zinno a pair.
"Good game," Zinno said after the stacks were counted. "Oh my God, I hit an eight."
It appears Zinno had been drawing so thin he had mentally checked out of the hand, but spiking that river pair gave him an overwhelming chip lead instead. He's now poised to take the first game.
Update: Zinno finished off Stiers, who he called his "best friend in the field," in game one. Both players appear disappointed in the draw. Our condolences, it can't be fun to eliminate a friend from a $1,500 buy in.
