Big Double for Zhu

Level 13 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Wei Zhu
Wei Zhu

With 150,000 chips in the middle, Wei Zhu had checked to Thomas Lee on a J32 flop. Lee moved all in, with Zhu having to make a decision for his last 166,000.

Eventually Zhu called.

Wei Zhu: QJ
Thomas Lee: Q8

Lee sheepishly turned over his queen high, knowing only a nine would send Zhu to the rail. The river 2 bricked and Zhu secured a healthy double.

"Ace-King" Giveth, Ace-King Taketh Away

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jacque Ramsden
Jacque Ramsden

"I haven't seen you bluff yet," said Jacques Ramsden facing a 30,000 bet from Sayed Jabbour on a K10982 board. "And I've got ace-king...this is horrible."

Eventually, Ramsden called.

"Queen-high," said Jabbour and Ramsden won the pot with the very un-ace-king looking K7

However, Ramsden did pick up AK and got it in against the same opponent. However this time Jabbour held substantially better than queen-high, with KK holding on the 1092410 runout to send Ramsden to the rail.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Chao Duan
Chao Duan

"It's easy," Dylan Wayne told PokerNews. "They get a good hand and you get a slightly better hand."

He was referring to the Chao Duan-shaped hole to his immediate right, with Duan having hit the rail after holding AxKx against Wayne's KxKx

Wayne now sits with comfortably over 750,000 in chips.

One Pair Good Enough for Fisher

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a 874 flop Slade Fisher check-called 20,000 from Mark Yazbeck and the turn was the A.

Fisher again check-called, this time for 26,000 and the pair checked the 8 river.

Fisher turned over 57 for two pair — sevens and eights — and Yazbeck mucked.
