A player under the gun raised to 400,000 and a player in the cutoff three-bet jammed for the remainder of their stack. Salvatore Boi in the small blind woke up with a hand and four-bet jammed covering both opponents. The original raiser folded and the hand went to a showdown.

Zott Leaves Weisner Wondering

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

A player in the hijack jammed all in for their last 1,100,000 finding David Zott on the button who also jammed for his remaining 1,075,000.

The decision fell on Melanie Weisner in the big blind who was contemplating calling for a potential double bust out. After voicing her indecision to the table, she eventually folded.

David Zott: KK
Hijack: J10

The board ran out 4832Q giving Zott the double up.

Weisner tilted at the runout announced she had 106 and would have rivered a flush for the win. Rushing to her phone Weisner told the table she was going to ask the opinion of her poker peers as to whether she should have called or not.

A player raised to 500,000 in the cutoff and Shea Quintin defended the big blind.

Action checked through on the Q33 flop to the 5 turn where Quintin bet 500,000 and his opponent called.

On the 5 river Quintin bet again, this time to the tune of 1,500,000 and his opponent thought for a bit before calling for the majority of her stack.
