: 150/300, 300 ante
Michael Zhang had a freshly doubled stack of about 60,000 in front of him, and the players at the table had him relay a wild hand. According to Zhang, he attempted to squeeze from the big blind with a bet of 4,000 after an open to 700 out of middle position and a slew of calls behind. The small blind back-raised to 10,000, and Zhang shoved for 30,000.

, and Zhang could only muster 
. However, the board ran out 
to give Zhang the pot with queen-high.
His neighbor exacted a small measure of revenge a few hands later, again back-raising to 5,000 when Zhang made it 1,800. Zhang peeled but folded to a bet of 10,000 on the 
flop.
