Two in a Row for Zolotow
Steve Zolotow limped the button followed by Chino Rheem in the small blind before Dylan Weisman checked his option to see the J♦10♦9♣ flop. All three players tapped the table and the 10♣ fell on the turn. Rheem check-folded to a bet of 320,000 from Weisman but Zolotow stuck around with a call.
The A♦ fell on the river and Weisman slowed down with a check. Zolotow fired 720,000 and Weisman gave it some thought before saying, "That was the worst river card. Maybe it saved me money though," and tossed his cards in the muck.
Zolotow showed the J♠J♥ for jacks full, and Weisman mentioned that the river did indeed save him some chips.
The following hand, Rheem limped the button and Zolotow checked his option.
When the K♠J♥9♦ flop hit the felt, Zolotow check-called a bet of 200,000 from Rheem.
The 4♦ turn was checked through to see the 6♠ river and Zolotow led for 500,000. Rheem mucked his hand.
