Belluscio Takes Aim at Zolotow with the Dead Man's Hand
Level 24
No-Limit 5-Card Draw High
A few hands after Julio Belluscio was joking about inventing a new variant of poker where the person who lost an all-in had to play Russian roulette, he and Steve Zolotow found themselves involved in a killer hand.
After the draw, Belluscio bet 50,000 from the cutoff and Zolotow raised to 125,000 from the button. Belluscio called.
Zolotow showed two pair, kings and queens, but couldn't beat Belluscio's aces and eights.
