Samual Takes Table Chip Lead
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Min Zhang opened to 30,000 from the hijack and Darius Samual three-bet to 95,000 on the button. After the blinds folded, Zhang called.
They saw a flop of 9♠5♠A♥ which saw Zhang check-call an 80,000-chip bet from Samual.
On the 8♥ turn, Zhang checked again only to face a shove from Samual which more than covered the stack of Zhang. After a quick thought, Zhang stood up from her chair and pushed her remaining 200,000 chips into the middle.
"Sit down, sit down" remarked Samual.
Min Zhang: A♦6♦ 
Darius Samual: K♠8♠
Zhang was ahead but didn't manage to fade the river as the 2♠ improved Samual to a flush and earned him the pot.
