Lengthy Hand, No Bustouts
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Anthony Zinno raised to 24,000 from early position and David Merino three-bet to 90,000 one seat over. Oleksandr Trokhymenko four-bet shoved for a bit under 300,000 and Zinno called the shove.
Merino, who had 78,000 behind, took his time as a payjump was looming. After a few minutes, he called off the remaining chips.
David Merino: A?K?5?4? 
Oleksandr Trokhymenko: A?A?K?Q?
Anthony Zinno: Q?J?9?8?
"Clubs are coming for sure," laughed Julien Sitbon.
The flop was Q?J?5?, giving Zinno the lead with the top two. The 10? on the turn improved Merino and Trokhymenko to Broadway, and the 10? on the river ensured everyone stayed around.
Merino and Trokhymenko chopped the main pot while the latter dragged the side pot from Zinno.
