Gao Not Getting Good Start

Wenling Gao is not getting the start she wanted to her Day 2 and has dropped down the counts. One of the beneficiaries of Gao's fall is Xiabo Zhou who ha just padded out his stack some at the former's expense.

It was Zhou driving the action with a pre-flop raise to 6,000 from early position, with Gao defending from the big blind. The flop saw Gao check the action over to Zhou, who really looked like he hated the ace.

There was no action on the turn either. The river saw Zhou eke out a little bit of value with a 4,000 bet after Gao checked for the third time, and then made the call.

Zhou rolled over , which were good with Gao mucking and Zhou raking in the pot to climb to 98,000 while Gao fell to 36,000. However, she is doing better than Carson Wong and Dmitry Rabotkin, who are both bust and are on the waiting list for the cash games.
