Justin Zaki

Nakim Adesio opened the action and Justin Zaki three-bet to 355,000. It folded back around, Adesio quickly called, and tabled his pocket kings, thinking Zaki was all in.

But Zaki had a 25K chip behind.

The flop was Kc8h2d, giving Adesio a set of kings and Zaki showed the table his queens before folding.

Nakim Adesio – 2,975,000 (74 bb)
Justin Zaki – 25,000 (<1 bb)

But running hot, he quickly spun that up to 250,000 to give him a shot to get back in the game.
