What Happens When Big Stacks Collide? They Shake Hands

Poker can be a very friendly game. Just ask Ivan Leow.

He's had the Midas touch this week, taking down the OPC High Roller earlier in the festival, and then crushing the Main Event to come into the day as chip leader. It's no wonder he's in a friendly mood, so when another big stack belonging to Wayne Zhang opened to 28,000 from middle position and Leow was his only caller in the cutoff, Leow reached out for a handshake before the flop was dealt. Zhang accepted, and they got down to business.

The flop fell and Zhang put in a continuation bet of 30,000. Leow made the call to see the turn, but now Zhang slowed down and checked. Leow took over the betting and made it 55,000, but Zhang didn't budge.

The river was the putting three deuces on board. Zhang checked it again, and Leow gave it some thought before checking back. Zhang turned over for deuces full of jacks, and that was good when Leow mucked.
