Zheng Doubles Through Sukonthchartnant

Thailand's all-time money winner Phanlert Sukonthchartnant opened the hijack to 5,200 and was flatted by Shizi Xiao in the cutoff. Alvan Zheng looked down at something he liked on the button and shoved for 37,300, which Sukonthchartnant would call. Now the decision was on Xiao.

He clearly liked his hand, too. About a minute went by before he started turning around to try and get a look at the tournament screen. Unfortunately for Xiao, the angle wasn't right and he was forced mid-hand to leave his seat and go up for a closer look. Whatever he saw on that screen, it would lead him to eventually fold.

Sukonthchartnant flipped but that was crushed by Zhang's . The cowboys held after the runout, bringing Zheng up to 73,000 and dropping Sukonthchartnant to 140,000.
