Minkov Chips Up Through Zhou; Former Chipleader Cho Gone
Level 6
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Quan Zhou raised to 2,200 from under the gun and faced a three-bet to 7,000 from Nikola Minkov, which he called.
Zhou then also called Minkov's 7,000 continuation-bet on the 3♣6♣4♥ flop before both players checked on the 3♥ turn.
Zhou checked for a third time on the A♠ river, and Minkov took some time before assembling a bet of 16,000. Zhou quickly folded, however, and the pot was awarded to Minkov.
While this hand was happening, Wooram Cho was seen leaving the tournament area as all of his chips had been redistributed to other players.
