Zebarjad Cracks Cowboys to Knock Out Markov
Level 5
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
A player in the cutoff opened to 2,500 from the cutoff and Anton Markov three-bet to 8,000 from the small blind. Ali Zebarjad made the call in teh big blind while Markov got out of the way.
The flop came 6♦4♦2♠. Markov fired a 7,000 continuation bet only for Zebarjad to raise to 25,000. Markov moved all in for just over 50,000 and Zebarjad called with a covering stack to put Markov at risk.
Anton Markov: K♦K♥ 
Ali Zebarjad: A♦7♦
Markov was ahead with an overpair but still had to fade some outs from Zebarjad who had the nut-flush draw and a live ace. Zebarjad picked up more outs with a straight draw on the 3♥ turn and the 5♠ river completed the straight to give Zebarjad the pot while Markov was sent to the rail in brutal fashion.
