Khorchidian Puts Zhao to the Test
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A player from under the gun opened to 4,000 and was called by Cheng Zhao in the hijack before Nichan Khorchidian three-bet to 13,000 from the cutoff. The original raiser folded before Zhao made the call.
The flop came J♦J♥2♦ and action checked to Khorchidian who bet 11,000. Zhao check-raised to 30,000, Khorchidian raised to 55,000 and Zhao made the call.
Zhao checked the Q♠ turn and Khorchidian bet enough to put Zhao, who had about 130,000 behind, all in. Zhao thought for about a minute before opting to fold and Khorchidian dragged in a healthy pot without showdown.
