Nível 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Peter Zolnai opened to 45,000 from early position and called when Lucas Sfez three-bet to 140,000.

Zolnai opted to lead for 40,000 on the 7♣3♣2♥ flop and called again when Sfex made it 150,000.

Zolnai continued to fire for 100,000 and called once more when Sfez raised too 390,000 on the 6♣ turn.

Zolnai then slowed down on the K♠ river and checked. Sfez emptied the clip for 530,000 total. Zolnai covered him but went deep into the tank.

Several minutes passed by before the clock was called, but as soon as the TD approached the table, Zolnai committed his stack.

Sfez sheepishly showed J♥10♣ for complete air. Zolnai had just a pair of fives with his 5♥5♦ and scooped in the biggest pot of the day.
