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.
