Zhou Spikes the River For a Near Triple Up
Level 11
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Martin Dam three-bet to 35,000 in the big blind and was called by Viacheslav Osipov under the gun and Lars Brodin in early position before Quan Zhou stuck in his last 115,000. Dam then reraised, Osipov got out of the way, while Brodin committed his last 67,000.
Lars Brodin: A♥Q♣J♦2♥
Quan Zhou: K♠K♥Q♠2♠
Martin Dam: A♦A♣8♥3♥
Dam was ahead with his aces and poised for a double knockout as the board came 10♦3♣5♥5♦. The river, though, brought the K♦ and Zhou slammed the table in celebration as he rivered a set to scoop the pot, doubling up off Dam and sending Brodin to the rail.
