Zaki Zapped, Klodnicki Klimbing

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Justin Zaki opened to 5,000 from the cutoff, only to see Chris Klodnicki three-bet to 12,500 from the button.

After thinking things through for a long minute, Zaki four-bet shoved for 56,600 more.

Klodnicki thought about his spot for a while before calling and tabling {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, which was way behind Zaki's {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

The dealer fanned the {4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} to make things interesting though, as Klodnicki added a flush draw to his previously depleted arsenal of outs. The turn missed his draws, coming {q-Clubs}, but when the {5-Diamonds} fell on the river Zaki stood to make his exit.

The rest of the table enjoyed a bit of banter after the hand, commenting on Klodnicki's play, with Matt Waxman telling his tablemate "you can never say anything about me playing badly, not after that one." The needle was only a joke of course, and Klodnicki just sat and flashed a sinner's smile, knowing he had just stolen a stack with a fortuitous find on fifth street.
