Zayneh's Back-to-Back Attempt Thwarted

Last year's PokerNews Cup Champ Dory Zayneh will have to wait another year for the chance to hoist the Cup trophy into the air again, as he's just been eliminated from the tournament.

Martin Comer did the heavy damage and knocked Zayneh down to 18,000 in chips by slow-playing a set of aces. Zayneh opened the hand with an 8,000 preflop raise from late position that was called by Comer from the button. The flop came {8-Hearts}

and Zayneh fired a continuation bet of 12,000; Comer just called.

The {9-Spades}

fell on 4th Street and Zayneh fired again -- this time making it 17,000 to go. Comer then stepped on the gas and kicked it up to 57,000 and Zayneh responded by moving all in for a total of 101,500. Comer insta-called and tabled {A-Hearts}
