Lee Finds a Double

Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Hon Cheong Lee open-jammed for 1,350,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Miguel Cardoso in the big blind. He pondered for a while, asking to see stacks of other players at the table, before eventually putting in the calling chips to put Lee at risk.

Hon Cheong Lee: K10
Miguel Cardoso: J9

Lee paired his king on K5A, but the Q turn saw a gutshot straight draw appear for Cardoso. However, the 5 river blanked and Lee secured his double-up, while Cardoso was left with just over four big blinds.

Alex Zhang Eliminated in 8th Place ($22,589)

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Alex Zhang
Alex Zhang

Alex Zhang raised to 800,000 from under the gun and the action folded to big blind Michael Liang, who defended.

The flop was dealt 6J10 and Liang checked to Zhang, who put out a continuation-bet for 1,200,000. Liang then jammed, covering Zhang's 3,800,000 stack and Zhang made the call.

Alex Zhang: AA
Michael Liang: 108

Zhang's aces had a strong lead on the middle pair of Liang, and the J turn did not change anything about that fact. However, the brutal 10 river saw Liang being the only one to upgrade his two pair to a full house, and he cracked Zhang's pocket aces to eliminate him in eight place.
