Zhang Crippled, but Doubles Up

Timothy Adams had Weiyi Zhang on the ropes in this first heat, but Zhang immediately doubled back up.

Adams fired out a bet of 15,000 points with 17,000 already in the middle. The board was {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and that gave Adams a straight with his {7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Zhang had {5-Hearts}{A-Clubs} for a pair of fives and made the call.

He was down to 20,000 chips in the 1k/2k-level and got it all-in the next hand with {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. Adams called holding {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. The board ran out {Q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Zhang was back in business.
