Zha Doubles, Yu Charges Interest
Chung Yuan Yu has been busy since last we checked and had run his stack up to close to 180,000 and although his current hot streak was temporarily halted by Weizhou Zha – who earned himself a timely double at Yu’s expense – the latter collected the bill with interest a scant few hands later.

and Yu made the call from the small blind with 
.
Already in the lead Zha seemed happy enough with the monochrome 
flop and improved to the nut flush on the turn to climb to 59,500 while Yu dropped to around 150,000 or so.
However, a scant few hands later Zha’s tournament was over after the two players tangled again with all the chips going in pre-flop.
This time it was Yu with the dominating hand, his two red kings leading Zha’s pocket queens and remaining in front to send the Chinese player to the rail in 14th place.
