Clayton Mozdzen opened to 100,000 from middle position with {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and was called by William Nunley with {a-Spades}{j-Clubs} on the button. In the blinds, Zilong Zhang had {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} while George Turner held {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, both players called.

Zhang led out for 440,000 on the {4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop in what commentator Nick Schulman said was an "unconventional play." The field quickly folded and Zhang exposed his hand.

"I told you, king high has no showdown value there," he said. A few of the table then called him crazy.

The following hand, Robert Welch opened to 110,000 with {a-Spades}{10-Clubs} before Nunley raised to 333,000 with {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. Zhang, with {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, flat-called on the button before Welch folded.

The {9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades} gave Zhang outs to the straight and he bet 285,000 when checked to. Nunley made top pair on the {a-Clubs} turn and action checked through to the {7-Clubs} river. Nunley bet 850,000 and Zhang quickly folded.
