Big Double for Zhu

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Yueqi Zhu
Yueqi Zhu

Yueqi Zhu had raised from under the gun and picked up two callers in Alexander Haro in the cutoff and Randall Lack in the small blind. On the {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop, Lack checked and Zhu continued for 230,000, which both opponents called. After the {Q-Diamonds} turn, Lack and Zhu checked to Haro, who bet 350,000.

Lack check-raised to 950,000 and that sent Zhu into the think tank. More than two minutes passed and Zhu then announced all in, prompting an instant fold from Haro. Lack asked to pull in his raise and determine how much more it was, which was confirmed to be for 660,000 on top, and he also wanted to see the pot being spread.

"Okay, I call," Lack then said and another player at the table immediately guessed a flush draw being turned over.

Yueqi Zhu: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Randall Lack: {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

The {3-Spades} on the river was a blank and Zhu scored a big double.

Khun and Zobian Battle

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

The action folded to Aram Zobian in the cutoff, and he raised before Chanracy Khun three-bet from the small blind. Zobian called, and the players were heads-up to a {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop. Khun decided to check before he called a 425k bet from Zobian.

Both players checked on the {a-Spades} turn and when the river came the {a-Diamonds}, Khun bet for 850k. Zobian gave himself a minute to think before he hovered his hand over the pot and dropped it into the muck.

"Rich" Redistributes His Wealth

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Yueqi "Rich" Zhu opened with a raise to 140,000 from the cutoff and Vicent Bosca Ramon who was on the button moved all in for 1,190,000. Action folded back to Zhu who tanked for a bit.

"Ok," Zhu said. "No gamble, no future."

He slammed a call down in front of him, turned over his {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and immediately started taking pictures with his phone.

Ramon showed his {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and it was a flip for his survival.

The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} which was safe for Zhu but the {J-Spades} on the turn was a crushing blow. The river was the {9-Clubs} and that meant that Ramon would double up while Zhu would redistribute some of the new found wealth of his double up.

Cooler For Da-Silva Doubles Up Phan

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Chris Da-Silva was on the button and up against Ryan Phan in the big blind. The flop was down {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, and Phan had the all-in button in front of him as well as {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}. Silva had obliged and held {a-Spades}{k-Spades}.

The turn brought the {j-Spades}, which gave Da-Silva outs to the nut flush. But the {10-Hearts} river was no help to him, and he had to sacrifice 2m to Phan who secured a full double-up in a perfect spot.
