Zhao Takes Out Esposito
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Cheng Zhao raised to 50,000 in middle position and Jiri Kocab called in the cutoff. Ettore Esposito then moved all in for 275,000 on the button.
Ran Ilani asked for a count in the small blind and tanked for a moment before folding as action went back on Zhao, who also took around 30 seconds before he called. Kocab quickly got out of the way.
Ettore Esposito: 5♥5♠
Cheng Zhao: 8♠8♦
The board ran out A♥4♣6♥3♥10♠ and Zhao's eights stayed in the lead to send Esposito to the exit.
