Wang Out, Zuo Doubles Through Chan

Andy Wang did not recover after folding out that earlier hand to James Chen and his seat is now empty to bring the total number of remaining players down to 19. One of these is Xiang Qi who ahs yet to turn up and his stack is slowly being blinded down.

One player who has just earned themselves some breathing room, however, is Wang Zuo who has just doubled after winning a pre-flop flip against Hong Kong’s Peter Chan.

Pre-flop it was Chan who was the initial raiser, opening the action with a bet of 5,500 from the cutoff. Zuo moved all in from the blinds for 45,500 in total and after thinking it over for a few seconds Chan threw in the call.

It was left to a good old fashioned race to decide Zuo’s fate and the poker gods were in a forgiving mood as the board ran out to grant Zuo the double to 93,400 while Chan dropped to 45,000.
