Zhang Takes 5:1 Chip Lead
Level 36
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Tommy Zhang opened to 1,600,000 with A♦A♥ and Spencer Champlin called with 7♦2♦. Crazy enough, the flop came out a perfect 7♣6♥2♥ and Champlin checked to the aggressor, who bet 1,000,000.
Champlin then put in the check-raise to 3,500,000 and Zhang called to see the 10♥ on the turn.
Champlin led for 2,500,000 and Zhang just called with his heart draw. The river was the miraculous K♥ to give Zhang the nut flush but Champlin still led for 2,000,000, to which Zhang responded by moving all in, resulting in a quick fold.
Zhang was then pushed the huge pot to take a 5:1 chiplead over Champlin.
