Zizka Turns a Nine
Level 1
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Alexander Bachman raised to 800 in the cutoff and Zdenek Zizka three-bet from the button to 2,400. Saar Wilf then cold four-bet to 7,000 out of the small blind, which got Bachman to fold, but Zizka called.
A flop of 10♦5♦2♣ was fanned where Wilf made a continuation bet of 4,400, which Zizka called.
The 9♠ turn drew another bet out of Wilf, this time to the tune of 6,500, which again Zizka called.
When the J♠ dropped on the river, both players decided to check. Wilf flipped A♥K♥ for ace-high, but Zizka had the winner with Q♦9♦ for a pair of nines.
