Zizka Doubles Through Deeb

Tim Baker

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Shaun Deeb raised to 160,000 from middle position and Zdenek Zizka shoved for 325,000 from the cutoff. Deeb called to put Zizka at risk.

Zdenek Zizka: K♥Q♠ All in
Shaun Deeb: A♣3♥

Zizka needed to find some help or he would be the first elimination at the final table. The board ran out 8♥J♠3♠Q♣7♣ to give Zizka the winner with a pair of queens, and he earned a much-needed double-up.

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ondrej Goetz shoved for his remaining chips from the cutoff and Shaun Deeb slowly squeezed his cards from the big blind. After he saw both of them, he snap-called.

Ondrej Goetz: A♦9♣ All in
Shaun Deeb: J♥J♦

Deeb's jacks held up on the 7♦10♣8♠3♣5♣ runout and Goetz had busted the tournament. Goetz busted slightly after a player on the other table so he would claim the ninth place prize money.

Paco Kaplan raised from under the gun to 175,000 and Genc Shabani shoved for around 650,000 from the big blind. Kaplan called.

Genc Shabani: K♠Q♥ All in
Paco Kaplan J♣9♣

Shabani was in the lead but not for long as the flop of 2♥2♦J♦ gave Kaplan a pair. The 2♣ turn and 6♦ river were no help to Shabani, and he was out in tenth.

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

When it folded to Amir Mozaffarian in the small blind he shoved to put Yehor Shumeiko all-in in the big blind. Shumeiko had 395,000 and after looking at his cards, snap-called.

Yehor Shumeiko: A♣Q♠ All in
Amir Mozaffarian : A♥6♣

Shumeiko just had to avoid a six to double-up. The board came A♠10♣2♣8♥2♠ to give both players a pair of aces, but it was Shumeiko's queen kicker that won him the pot.

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Playing five-handed, Shaun Deeb raised from under the gun and Viorel Gavrila three-bet from the cutoff to 325,000. When it got back to Deeb, he asked for a count and learned that Gavrila had around 1,600,000, then shoved. Gavrila quickly looked back at his cards and then stuck in calling chips.

Viorel Gavrila: Q♥Q♣ All in
Shaun Deeb: A♦J♠

if Deeb could find a way to win the hand he would be an overwhelming chip leader and burst the final table bubble, but it wasn't to be as the pocket queens of Gavrila held up on the 4♦6♣9♥K♠7♥ runout.

Zdenek Zizka raised to 125,000 from the cutoff with both Paco Kaplan and John Armbrust calling from the blinds.

When it checked to Zizka on the 2♠7♦3♠ flop, he bet 150,000. Kaplan folded but Armbrust check-raised to 300,000 from the big blind. Zizka had roughly 1,000,000 remaining in his stack and, after a bit of thought, opted to fold his hand.
