Zhao Shows Down Queens
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 3♦5♣9♣, Joao Mestre bet 22,000 from the cutoff before Cheng Zhao raised to 55,000 in middle position.
Mestre called and the J♦ fell on the turn. Zhao then checked and Mestre used a time bank before betting 65,000. Zhao also burned a time bank as he called.
The river was the 4♦ and Zhao checked again. Mestre tanked again before checking back and Zhao turned over Q♥Q♣ to win the pot.
