Webjoker

Nível 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

We over looked one new entry at the start of the day, Mohsin Charania had bought back in after having been busted on Day 1. His new 250,000 stack has been moved to his neighbor Anthony Zinno by now, in a hand later told to us by the chip magnet himself.

Charania opened under the gun for 14,000 and Zinno flatted from the big blind. The flop came with two spades and Zinno check raised the 12,000 continuation bet to 36,000. Charania moved in for around 200,000 and Zinno called.

Mohsin Charania:
Anthony Zinno:

A red hit the turn and an offsuit completed the board, favoriting Zinno. Charania headed to the exit, another EPT champ gone.
