Heng Zhang Cracks Aces

[user38449]

All in pre-flop for his tournament life holding pocket threes against the {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} of Martin Cardno, Heng Zhang stood up out of his seat, effectively conceding defeat to his opponent's superior hand.

Luckily for him, the virtual poker gods delivered a timely third trey for Heng, when the flop came {Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Cardo was not dead, as he'd picked up the nut flush draw, but the board ran out {6-Clubs}, {Q-Diamonds} giving Zhang a pot-clinching full house.

Cardno dropped to 37,100 after the hand while Zhang doubled up to 23,800.

The very soft-spoken Lei He has just taken over the PokerPro tournament chip lead. Last month, Lei posted a 3rd place finish in the APPT Sydney Grand Final, a finish worth $322,280 AUD.

Lei currently has 36,000 in chips and looks in good shape to make the final table.

Demetriou Gets a Bit of Help

"I won a race! I haven't won a race in four weeks," said Andrew Demetriou after he ran down an opponent's pocket queens with his own pocket nines in a pre-flop all in confrontation.

If the hand was a race, Demetriou's opponent had a considerable head start, but when the electronic flop came {9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, the odds shifted in Demetriou's favor. The turn and river blanked {2-Spades}, {4-Spades} and Demetriou added 14,000 in new chips to his previously depleted stack.
