[user92162]

Zhi Hong Ma sets up to stay alive

Zhi Hong Ma is back from the brink of elimination.

An already short-stacked Ma, was only a few outs away from elimination after he moved his last 5,000 chips all in preflop holding {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{7-Spades}

and found a caller holding {k-Hearts}

{k-Hearts}

{k-Diamonds}

.

Fortunately for Ma the flop came {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{5-Diamonds}

{j-Spades}

putting him back in the driver's seat, and the turn {a-Spades}

{a-Spades}

and river

{j-Hearts}

gave him a full book and doubled him through.

Hong Ma has some chips to work with at 11,000, but still has a lot do to get back into this tournament.
