Zinno Hates the Flop

Level 6 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

After a raise to an unknown amount and a call from Ben Maya on the button — both had a T25,000 chip on the felt — Anthony Zinno made it 66,000 to go in the big blind. The opener mucked but Maya stuck around. The dealer spread an {a-Spades}{4-Spades}{j-Spades} flop and Zinno checked. Maya put him all in for just over 200,000 and Zinno mucked {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} face up.

Timothy Adams, Steffen Sontheimer and Dario Sammartino saw the flop for 12,000 each.

The turn was the {9-Hearts} and both players checked. The river was the {2-Hearts} and Sontheimer checked before Sammartino bet 60,000.

Sontheimer mucked and paid the remainder of the bet.
