Zhang Knocks Out Two
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Paul Murray opened the action by jamming for his remaining 395,000. Action folded to Liu Yang in the small blind who re-jammed for 780,000. Hengrui Zhang covered both from the big blind and also called, making it a huge three-way pot with two players at risk.
Paul Murray: 10♥10♦
Liu Yang: A♥K♠
Hengrui Zhang: Q♦Q♥
Zhang was ahead, and Murray stood from the table after seeing he was up against pocket queens and Yang's two over cards.
The whole table started to sweat the runout, but the 3♣7♦5♣ flop didn't change much.
A J♠ was turned, again, not changing the standings. With a 7♣ completing the board, Zhang locked up the pot and saw to the elimination of two players at his table.
