Zaks Sent to the Rail
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Jean-François Gaye opened to 2,500 from the hijack, and was called by Nicolas Noguera in the cutoff. Kostyra Zaks in the small blind went into the tank, and decided to three-bet to 12,000. The big blind and Gaye folded, but Noguera immediately four-bet to 42,500.
Zaks counted his stack, and shoved for approximately 55,000. Noguera snap-called.
Kostya Zaks: A♥J♥ 
Nicolas Noguera: 8♥8♣
The dealer revealed that Gaye also had A♣J♠. Zaks still hit a jack on the flop, but it came with an eight on 8♦J♦6♣. The 9♠ turn and the Q♦ completed the board, and Zaks was eliminated.
