Xu Shoves on Zha, Jiang Yet to Show

Weizhou Zha has been busy, running his 93,200 starting stack up to the giddy heights of 170,000, though some of this has just gone the way of He Xu. Pre-flop it was Zha who was the aggressor, making it 4,500 to go from under-the-gun.

Action folded around to Xu in the cutoff and he quickly shipped his remaining 34,500 into the middle of the table. Action folded back around to Zha and he had a decision to make. The fact he did not call instantly can only be a good thing for Xu, who began to look a great deal more comfortable.

Zha eventually decided to give it up, dropping down to 165,000 while Xu climbed to 45,200.

One man who has not got anything going so far today is China’s Jiang Sihai who has yet to turn up. Sihai’s 53,500 starting stack has been blinded down to 34,500 so far and his seat is still conspicuously empty.
