Zheng Surges Into the Lead

Level 35
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Muhtar Taysi raised from under the gun to 800,000 and got a call from Xiaosheng Zheng on the button. Mario Colavita also called from the big blind.
When the flop came A♣2♠5♣, Colavita checked and Taysi bet 500,000. Zheng then raised to 1,500,000, Colavita folded, and Taysi put in the call.
Both then tapped the table on the 4♥ turn and K♦ river, where Taysi showed 7♥7♣ for a pair of sevens. Zheng, however, had the winner as he showed A♥Q♣ for a pair of aces.
