Zhang Stays Red-Hot, Doubling Up Through Diaz
Level 30
: 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Hung Tran opened to 350,000 from the cutoff and Guillaume Diaz made it 1.1 million from the small blind. Junxiu Zhang went all-in for 2.62 million from the big blind.
Tran asked to count Diaz's chips and deliberated for two minutes before finally laying it down. Diaz looked resigned and said that he "had to call."
Junxiu Zhang: 
Guillaume Diaz: 
Zhang stayed ahead on the 
flop but Diaz still had two overs, a backdoor flush draw, and a straight draw.
The 
did not help Diaz and neither did the 
river, which sent Zhang's stack sky-high to 5,650,000.
