Zhang Widens the Gap
Level 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Spencer Champlin raised to 1,300,000 with J♠9♦ and was called by Tommy Zhang with K♥4♦.
The flop came out K♠9♣5♦ and Champlin led out for 1,100,000 with his middle pair of nines and Zhang called with his top pair of kings.
The turn is the 4♠ to further improve Zhang's hand and he checks once more, but this time Champlin decides to check back and they go to the river 3♠.
Zhang then led out for 2,400,000 and received a call from Champlin to take down a pot of over 10,000,000 and now has a 2:1 chip lead.
