Zizka Plays it Safe

Philip Sternheimer opened to 55,000 in middle position, which only Zdenek Zizka called in the hijack.

The action checked through on the 6♠6♣6♥ flop, and the dealer added the 2♣ turn card to the board.

Sternheimer picked his betting lead back up, putting 90,000 in the middle, which Zizka called.

Both players then checked on the J♠ river.

Sternheimer tabled 7♠7♥, which proved to be no good when Zizka flipped over 10♠10♥, for a better full house.
