Zhong Catches A Break

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

We rushed over to Table 1 after noticing Kun Zhong jumping for joy after taking down a pot.

The details of the hand was relayed back from tournament staff who said that Zhong moved all in for his remaining 8,350 with {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} on a {6-}{9-}{10-} flop. But Zhong would need a lot of help as he was called by Gareth Pepper who held pocket aces.

A repeat {6-} was not was Zhong was looking for on the turn, however the {8-} on the river was. An unlikely straight was enough to see the Chinese player take down the pot to stay alive in the tournament.
