Zhu Holds With King-High to Double
Level 17
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action folded around to the blinds, where Bilal Javed shoved from the small blind to put Zheming Zhu all in for his last 75,000 in the big blind. Zhu called to put himself at risk and a showdown was held.
Bilal Javed: Q♣5♣
Zheming Zhu: K♥10♠
Zhu was ahead, but needed to fade Javed's live cards to stick around.
The 8♥9♦3♥ flop and A♠ turn were safe as Zhu nervously awaited the river, which brought the 4♥ — sending a sigh of relief through Zhu, who was awarded the double up.
