Zhao Chipping Up
Level 21
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Cheng Zhao called in the small blind. Amiel Gamliel three-bet to 38,000. Zhao called.
Zhao check-called a bet of 45,000 on the 2♥7♠7♦ flop and check-called again on the A♦ turn. On this street Gamliel sized up to 83,000.
The J♦ river was checked down and Zhao tabled A♠2♦ for two pair.
A couple hands later he raised a 19,000 chip open from Umut Yukselir in the hijack to 75,000. Yukselir checked the 9♦2♣9♣ flop to Zhao who bet 150,000. This garnered a snap call from his opponent and he scooped a second pot in quick succession.
