Soyza Tests Zha, Zha Doubles Through Li; Soyza Now Leads

Malaysia's Michael Soyza
Malaysia's Michael Soyza

Weizhou Zha is still the table short stack and he now has even less chips with which to mount a comeback after folding out a big pot against Michael Soyza. Pre-flop it was Zha who was the man initially driving the action with a UTG+1 open to 130,000.

Soyza made the call from the big blind and both players checked the {10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop. The Malaysian player decided that Zha couldn’t have much and seized the initiative on the turn with a chunky 410,000 bet. Zha thought it over – it was a big call for nearly half of his remaining chips – but chose to call and the {9-Spades} hit the river.

Perhaps sensing weakness, or maybe he was just bullying, Soyza moved all-in and Zha now had a real decision to make.

Zha did not look happy about it but eventually folded to drop to 550,000 while Soyza now has 4 million.

The next hand saw the action fold around to Longyun Li in the small blind. Li could smell the blood in the water and decided to bully Zha, moving all-in but was quickly called and the cards were turned over.

Longyun Li: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Weizhou Zha: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Zha was in bad shape but hit the perfect flop, which came down {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Li had a black queen but it was not the {q-Clubs} meaning Zha’s two pair was now in front. The {k-Spades} turn saw Li make trips and Zha improve to a full house and the {7-Hearts} river saw Zha double to bring himself back in to contention.

Zha now has 1.2 million while Li dropped to 3.7 million, which means Michael Soyza has now edged into the chip lead.
