Zhang Goes Runner-Runner
Level 5
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
John Doringer opened to 2,500 in middle position before Yang Zhang moved all in on the button for his last 10,100. Jarrod Coughtrie called in the big blind, with Doringer also calling behind.
Both Coughtrie and Doringer checked the 3♠5♠7♥ flop. Coughtrie checked agin on the 10♠ turn, folding quickly when Doringer fired 15,000. That left Zhang heads up and the cards were turned up.
Yang Zhang: K♠9♦ 
John Doringer: J♣10♦
Zhang was trailing Doringer's top pair but found another spade on the 2♠ river, completing a flush to triple his stack.
