Gene Mazza Notches the Knockout

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

When Gene Mazza went all in with {A-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and found a lone caller two seats to his left, he likely expected to be facing a hand that dominated his, or a coin flip situation.

Instead, his opponent turned up {K-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, an obviously surprised Mazza watched as the flop came {6-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} to snatch the lead away.

Mazza's befuddlement at his opponent's light call as evident, and when the {7-Hearts} fell in on the turn, he began to stand in anticipation of making his exit from the tournament floor.

River: {q-Spades}

With that, Mazza sat back in his chair and began stacking his new chips - about 90,000 of them - while asking a tablemate in hushed tones, "how does he call there?"
