[VIDEO] Life After the Big Score: Scott Davies (Part 2)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

In October 2014, Scott Davies won the WSOP APAC Main Event for 850,136 Australian dollars (almost $737,907), and his life changed drastically. He was already a rounder, but now he could play just about anything he wanted, anywhere he wanted. We talk at length with Davies about the period after hitting the big score, the tournament that changed it all. Yesterday we released Part 1, here goes Part 2:

Zhenru Xie raised to 65,000 from under the gun before Fan Zhao moved all in for his remaining 460,000 from the cut off. Weijie Ye was on the button, and tanked for over a minute, before finally releasing his hand. The blinds both folded before Xie made the call.

Xie: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Zhao: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Zhao was in great shape to double until the board ran out {3-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{a-Spades}{10-Clubs} to see Xie make a straight on the river.

Weiyi Zhang Eliminated in 7th Place (HKD$310,280)

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Weiyi Zhang
Weiyi Zhang

Cheng has taken a commanding lead at this final table after clashing with fellow big stack Weiyi Zhang.

The action started with Zhang raising to 65,000 from the button. Cheng then bumped it up to 190,000 before Zhang came over the top with another raise to 550,000.

Zhang stared Cheng down, but that didn't faze the chip leader, who casually slid out a five bet to 1.3 million in chips. Zhang then instantly moved all in for 2.52 million and was snap called.

Zhang: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Cheng: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} to see Cheng hold with the monster pair sending Zhang to the rail, rather unexpectedly.

Short Stack No More

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

The action folded around to Florencio Campomanes on the button who moved all in again for 481,000 in chips. Zhenru Xie was on the big blind and made the call before both players tabled their cards.

Campomanes: {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Xie: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

Campomanes was in trouble against the pair but received more outs when the flop came down {j-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. The {10-Diamonds} gave him more hope before the {q-Hearts} dropped on the river. Campomanes rivered a straight to steal the pot which sees him rocket to over one million in chips.

Zhang: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}
