Zhao Leads Into the Lead
Level 8
: 1,000/2,000, 250 ante
Francisco Benitez opened to 4,000 and Wei Zhao called in the cutoff. "Pen15" then three-bet to 22,000 and Benitez folded. Zhao ripped it in for 177,150 and "Pen15" called for fewer than that.
"Pen15": 
Wei Zhao: 
The board ran out 
for Zhao to turn a set of tens.
Shortly after, the next shorter stack was at risk in Mark "Chasseneige" Demirjian and this time Zhao held an even better pockert pair.
Mark "Chasseneige" Demirjian: 
Wei Zhao: 
There was no help on the 
board and Demirjian departed as well.
