Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Steven Zhou was under the gun and opened to 2,000, which then folded around to Dmitry Rabotkin in the small blind. He made the call, and when the big blind folded it went heads-up to a {2-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} flop. Rabotkin checked to the raiser and Zhou made a 2,500 c-bet which was quickly called.

The turn came the {j-Spades} and that got checks from both, leading to the {q-Spades} river. Rabotkin quickly checked a third time and Zhou sprung back into betting action, leading for 15,000 into the 10,400 pot. Rabotkin calmly and deliberately thought things through before pushing out a raise to 95,000 - enough to cover Zhou.

Zhou made things simple by shoving all-in himself, and Rabotkin called even though his bet was already covering the shove. Zhou turned over {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for an unlikely straight, but Rabotkin had one too with his {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a floppped second pair which improved by the river. The two chopped it up.
