Snejberg's Winning Streak Against Zhao
Josef Snejberg and Cheng Zhao were clearly enjoying their back-and-forth battle at the table. In the very first hand, Snejberg bet 50,000 into a pot of 52,000 on the river, forcing Zhao to fold and handing him the pot without much fuss.
Just a couple of hands later, Snejberg opened the action again with a raise to 10,000. This time, he got calls from both Zhao in the small blind and the big blind.
When the flop came down 2♦4♦J♦, Snejberg wasted no time, firing off a bet of 11,000 after both blinds checked. Zhao responded with a raise to 30,000, which made the big blind fold, but Snejberg wasn't backing down and made the call.
The turn brought the 6♥, and Zhao took the lead with a solid bet of 40,000. Snejberg called again, clearly feeling confident.
On the river, the Q♦ appeared, and Zhao made a smaller bet of 10,000. But Snejberg wasn't going anywhere—he called again, showing 9♦7♦ for a flopped flush. Zhao, on the other hand, could only muster K♦Jx for a pair of jacks, leaving him to watch as Snejberg scooped up the pot again.
