Zhou Loses Coin Flip, Xi and Liu Arrives

Quan Zhou has just lost a coin flip, but not in the way you imagine. Pre-flop it was Fabian Quoss who was the aggressor, opening the action to 4,500 from the button before Tang Tian Yuan moved all-in from the small blind for over 125,000.

This sent big blind Zhou deep into the think tank, where he remained for a good five minutes. Eventually Yuan got sick of waiting and called for the clock.

Zhou looked torn between calling and folding and decided to let chance decide and reached for his wallet, producing a coin which he flipped to decide his action.

Zhou obviously lost his self-imposed flip and found the fold, as did Quoss, leaving Yuan free to scoop the pot and pad out his stack without showdown.

Luo Xi has arrived to play what remains of his 149,000 start stack, as has Qiang Liu, who has a paltry 7,800 left but Xiang Qi is still nowhere to be seen.
