Zheng Rises Further With a Knockout
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
On the tail end of a 10♣6♦2♥J♦5♣ board, Xiaosheng Zheng bet 2,000 out of the blinds. He was raised to 7,000 to then move all-in and his opponent mulled it over for a while. With around 12,000 behind, the shorter stack eventually called it off.
Zheng tabled the 4♠3♠ for the nut straight and his opponent sent the cards right into the muck, where the dealer retrieved them to expose 8♠8♣ according to all-in showdown rule.
