Zizka Wins Big With Straight Flush as Donzelli's Nut Flush No Good
Level 1
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Zdenek Zizka had raised to 1,000 in middle position when Giorgio Donzelli tossed in a three-bet to 3,000 from the small blind. Zizka called to the 9♠6♠4♦ flop, where he called the continuation-bet of 4,000 that Donzelli put in.
Donzelli slowed down and checked the 5♠ turn. Zizka then bet 5,500 and Donzelli called. The 2♦ river completed the board, seeing Donzelli lead out for 11,000.
Zizka spent some time in the tank and then raised to 48,900. Donzelli snap called and tabled A♠K♠ for the nut flush.
However, it was no good against the 8♠7♠ of Zizka, who had turned a straight flush and raked in the massive pot. Donzelli could only shake his head and laugh at the huge cooler that had just occured.
