O'Neill Jams on Zhao
Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Cheng Zhao raised to 250,000 from the small blind with J♣10♣ and Padraig O'Neill called with A♠3♦ from the big blind.
Zhao hit top pair on the 10♠5♣2♥ flop while O'Neill had a wheel draw. Zhao bet 400,000 and was called.
The 5♠ turn paired the board and kept Zhao ahead. He fired out 600,000 and O'Neill stuck around.
The 8♠ river gave Zhao the checkmark and bet out another 825,000, leaving 2,000,000 behind. O'Neill used a time bank card before moving all in as the bigger stack with the nut-flush blocker. Zhao went into the tank and ultimately folded the better hand.
