Zullo Finds a Chop Against Lam, Then Doubles Through Him

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Mark Zullo was all in from the small blind for about 410,000 with {A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} against Simon Lam in the big blind with {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. The board came down {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, giving both players tens and nines with an ace to chop the pot.

Two hands later, Zullo raised all in for 435,000 from the cutoff and Lam isolated from the button with {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, racing with Zullo's {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}.

The board ran out {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, giving Zullo a set of threes to double up.
