Vitalijs Zavorotnijs

On the turn of an AcQs4d8s board, Vitalijs Zavorotnijs checked from the big blind and Paul Zappulla bet 65,000 from under the gun. Zavorotnijs called.

The river was the 2s, Zavorotnijs checked, Zappulla went all in for 195,000, and Zavorotnijs called with 4h4c for a set of fours.

Zappulla, however, tabled QdQc for a set of queens to double up.

Down to 60,000, Zavorotnijs busted two hands later in fifth place.
