Zhang Joins the Biggest Stacks
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
In a hand that started at the end of the previous level, a seemingly innocent pot of around 55,000 emerged to the J♥7♥5♠2♥ turn. That's when things escalated between Hongru Zhang and Ran Shahar with the former jamming into a bet and getting called.
Hongru Zhang: 8♥4♥
Ran Shahar: Q♦J♣
The naked top pair of Shahar had zero equity ahead of the 9♠ river and Zhang earned a healthy double for 167,000.
