Jackson Zheng calls this country his home, but might be saying goodbye to New Zealand's premiere poker tournament very soon if his chip stack keeps traveling in the same direction.
We recently caught up with a hand over on Zheng's table that saw him and one opponent involved in a pot with a 
board already out on the felt. There was 1,000 in the pot at this point and Zheng's opponent led for 500. Zheng casually flicked out a call and the dealer flipped over a 
to complete the board on the river. The player again opted to bet, placing another 500-denomination chip out on the felt.
"One thousand, nine hundred," said Zheng calmly.
"I call," his opponent replied.
"You got me," Zheng fired back as he flipped over 
.
Zheng was right, his opponent held 
- enough to rake in the pot and take some of Zheng's already dented stack.
