Steinbrenner Spikes River to Double

Level 21
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Zdenek Zizka opened to 30,000 and was faced with a three-bet jam to 253,000 by Justin Steinbrenner. Zizka gave the matter a reasonable amount of thought before making the call.
Justin Steinbrenner: A?6?
Zdenek Zizka: A?10?
Steinbrenner's ace was dominated, and the K?J?8? flop gave his opponent a gutshot.
However the 9? turn gave Steinbrenner outs to the flush, and the 6? hit on the river to send him the pot with a pair of sixes.
