McEwan Picks Off Zhang's Bluff
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Yang Zhang limped from the small blind and Matthew McEwan made it 210,000 from the big blind. Zhang called.
On the J♣7♥5♦ flop, both players checked their option.
The 2♣ fell on the turn and Zhang bet 225,000, which McEwan called.
When the 4♠ fell on the river, Zhang fired another bet of 525,000, and McEwan didn't need too much time to think before he called.
Zhang tabled 10♣6♣ for a bluff, but McEwan had the winner with Q♣2♥ for a pair of deuces.
