Zaret Has the Super Nuts
PokerNews caught up with Zachary Zaret and his table who recounted a hand that happened a few orbits before.
After some action preflop Zaret and a few other players were looking at a board of 10♣K♥A♥.
It checked to Zaret who was under the gun and he bet out for 1,500. The big blind was the only one who called.
The turn brought a 10♥ and the big blind checked. Zaret bet 3,500 and without thinking for too long the big blind check-raised to 10,000. Zaret called.
The river brought a J♣ and the big blind led for 20,000. Zaret thought it over for a moment and then jammed. The big blind snap called.
The big blind had K♣K♠6♠4♣ for double suited kings that flopped a set and turned a boat.
Unfortunately, for the big blind filling up on the turn was really bad news as Zaret was holding Q♥J♥A♦4♠ for a turned royal flush. That would be more than good to scoop and chip up well above average.
