Zhang Tries to Five-Bet it Away; The Deck Wasn't Having It

Pokernews was called over to hear about the following hand that just went down. The exact words from a few players were "The people reading it won't think its true" but they assured us it was.

The action was opened under the gun by Maxime Dube to 6,000. A player called in middle position before the action was on Jinrong Zhang in the big blind. He took a moment and then three-bet to 16,000.

Dube didn't waste much time before putting in a warm four-bet to 41,000.

The middle position player folded and then action was back on Zhang. After a moment in the tank he five-bet ripped it having Dube covered. Dube put in the chips for his tournament life.

Maxime Dube: A♠K♠
Jinrong Zhang: 10♣4♠

The table recounted that they were in a bit of shock when the hands were tabled but that they were flabbergasted when the dealer peeled the cold Kx10x4x flop. Zhang hinted at the fact that the five-bet bluff wasn't his proudest moment but after the 5x turn and Qx river hit, he sent Dube to the rail and is now the overwhelming chip leader.

Sometimes the poker gods just have your back.
