Zhou Keeps Climbing
Level 13
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Quan Zhou opened for 35,000 chips from the hijack and both blinds Gregoire Auzoux and Leon Sturm called. The flop of A♦Q♠2♦ saw Zhou continuation-bet for 46,000 after two checks. Auzoux then made the call before Sturm folded his hand.
The 6♠ turn was put on the felt and Auzoux checked again. Zhou opted for a sizable bet of 150,000 and Auzoux called once more. When the K♦ completed the board, Auzoux checked for a third time and Zhou put in a massive bet of 300,000. Auzoux quickly folded, claiming that it was "the worst river in the deck."
