Zhang Nearly Doubles Through Cowan
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Michael Zhang opened to 60,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 160,000 by Graham Cowan in the cutoff. Action folded back around to Zhang, who called.
Zhang check-called a 75,000 bet from Cowan on the Q♦7♥2♥ flop and then both players checked on the A♥ turn.
The 10♥ brought four cards to a flush on board and Zhang bet 645,000 — leaving himself a single t-5,000 denomination chip behind.
Cowan quickly called and Zhang tabled K♥J♣ for the nuts. Cowan showed he held J♠J♥ for a lower flush and Zhang nearly doubled his stack.
