Zambanini Rivers a Straight to Get the Knockout

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Matthew Zambanini
Matthew Zambanini

Matthew Zambanini raised under the gun to 6,000, and was called by Anuj Sanjay Kumar Sethi, and a player in the big blind.

After the flop came 9?J?6? the big blind and Zambanini checked to Sanjay Kumar Sethi who bet out 11,000. Then the big blind raised to 35,000. Zambanini then three-bet all in for 77,300. Sanjay Kumar Sethi quickly folded, and the big blind called for his last 22,700.

Big Blind: Q?J? All in
Matthew Zambanini: 10?8?

The big blind was ahead with his pair of jacks but would need to fade a queen or seven which would give Zambanini a straight. The 3? was a safe one, but the 7? on the river gave Zambanini the straight to scoop the pot and eliminate the player in the big blind.
