Zamani Pots Without the Nuts
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Martin Zamani opened to 420,000 and was called by Alex Livingston to see a flop of J♦Q♠9♥.
Both players then checked all the way to the river 8♥10♠ and Livingston checked once again, but then Zamani bet the pot of 1,020,000.
"Oh, Martin...What do you have?" Livingston sighed, but eventually made the fold to award Zamani the pot.
"Phew!" Zamani replied, and showed 7♠4♥4♦ to prove that he didn't have the nut straight but still could have had an eight for the tail end.
