Carreras Hits the River to Bust Zhu
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Bernat Carreras raised to 50,000 in early position, Hong Zhu put in his last 85,000 on the button, and Carreras called.
Hong Zhu: 8♠8♣
Bernat Carreras: A♦9♣
Zhu remained ahead through the turn on a board of 6♥5♣6♣7♠ and picked up a straight draw to go with his pair, but Carreras spiked the A♣ on the river as Zhu flung his arms in the air in frustration.
"Well played. Unluckky," tablemate Axat Mawji told him.
"The ace was the only thing," Zhu added on his way to the rail.
