Andrew Hinrichsen raised under the gun to 16,000 and the action was folded to Xing Zhou on the button. Zhou three-bet to 39,500 and both blinds folded.
The dealer had pulled the bets in right away, and it took Hinrichsen a while to figure out what his next raise was going to be. Eventually he settled on 83,000 and the pressure was back on Zhou.
Zhou went into the tank for quite some time before he put out a five-bet to 198,000 on top of his initial 39,500. Hinrichsen tanked for two minutes, but he didn't pull the trigger. Zhou took down this big pot as Hinrichsen slipped down a little.
