Six-Way Three-Bet Pot!
Action was opened under the gun to 600. He got three callers before action was on Hengzhen Zhang in the cutoff who three-bet to 3,000. The button called, the blinds folded, and then every other player that was still in the hand called.
They were off to a flop six ways in a three-bet pot.
The J♥4♣3♥ flop landed and it checked to Zhang in the cutoff who continued for 7,000. The button called, under the gun folded and then it was on a player in early position who put in a large check-raise to 22,000.
The other players got out of the way and action was back on Zhang who thought it over and then put in a flop three-bet all in having the other players covered. The button folded and the early position player called off for his tournament life.
Early Position: 10♥7♥
Hengzhen Zhang: J♠J♦
Zhang had already hit gin in the form of top set but needed to fade some hearts. The turn brought a K♦ and the river a Q♦ to seal the deal and ship Zhang a monster pot and a great story if he runs deep.
