Zhou Nears the Top
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Gregoire Auzoux raised to 40,000 from the hijack and Quan Zhou made the call from the cutoff. Paulius Plausinaitis also came along from the big blind and the three saw a flop of A♦4♠A♠. Plausinaitis checked to Auzoux, who made a continuation-bet of 55,000. Zhou still called while Plausinaitis got out of the way.
The 2♥ turn then fell and Auzoux bet another 180,000. Again, Zhou called before the Q♣ river rolled off. Auzoux slammed the brakes and checked, leading to Zhou throwing out a massive bet of 425,000. Auzoux quickly mucked his holdings and the first big pot of the final table went Zhou's way.
