Chait Zaps Zappulla

Niveau 8 : Blinds 1,300/2,500, 0 ante

Razz

Paul Zappulla: 4x3x/5x4xAx8x/Jx
Craig Chait: 6x3x/4xAx7xKx/9x
Tony Gregg: XxXx/7xQx5x - folded fifth street

Paul Zappulla was all in on third street and his potential executioners Craig Chait and Tony Gregg began building a side pot.

Last year's runner-up in this event, Chait bet fourth and fifth streets with Gregg deciding not to continue on the big bet streets.

Chait had already made a seven-six which held up against Zappulla's wheel draw that could only improve to an eight, sending him to the rail.
