Sessum and Zurek Off to the Races

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Maurice Sessum opened with a raise under the gun and was soon met by a three-bet to 32,500 from Kali Zurek in the small blind. Sessum responded by four-betting all in for 98,500, and Zurek, who barely had the bigger stack, took her time before making the call.

Sessum: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Zurek: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

It was a classic flip, and while the {3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop kept Zurek in the lead, it also gave Sessum a wheel draw. The {A-Hearts} turn was a big card, but you wouldn't know it as Both Zurek, who had lost the lead, and Sessum, who had taken it, remained silent.

When the {10-Diamonds} completed the board on the river, Sessum gave a little fist pump as the dealer verified the stacks.
