Zhang Busts Hudon in First Hand
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Chanracy Khun opened to 4,000 from under the gun, Jinrong Zhang three-bet to 13,500 from middle position and Eliot Hudon four-bet shoved for 40,000 from the big blind. Khun got out of the way and Zhang snap-called with a covering stack.
Eliot Hudon: 10♠10♣ 
Jinrong Zhang: A♠A♣
Zhang made top set on the A♥7♠3♣ flop and by the 6♣ turn Hudon was drawing dead and already out of his seat. He did not stick around to see the 10♥ river give him an inferior set and Zhang took in a nice pot. Hudon would exercise his option to reenter shortly afterwards.
