Zheng Busts Brutally

Prominent Kiwi poker player Jackson Zheng has just been eliminated in pretty brutal fashion.

We arrived at the action on the turn of a board, with around 8,500 in the pot and with Zheng leading out for 3,600. Zheng’s lone opponent made the call and a was dealt on the river.

Zhen had around 9,000 behind and took his time before betting 5,000 here. His opponent fumbled out 8,000, intending to raise and then had to make it at least 10,000. Zheng leaned back in his chair, facing a call for his tournament life.

“Flopped a set and have the queen of spades,” said Zheng as he tanked.

We then heard Zheng mention that his opponent must have ace-king with the king of spades before continuing to tank. Zheng counted out his chips a couple of times and made the call.

Zheng’s read was correct as the player turned over . Zheng turned over his and made his way out of the tournament.
