Event 1: High Cards Hold for Zhang
A flop of 
produced heavy action in a recent hand at one of the outer tables. After one check, the player in the hijack bet 8,000, and Wen Zhang bumped it to 16,000 from the cutoff. The original checker called off his remaining 13,700, and the bettor called as well. The turn brought a 
, and two checks. A 
river completed a possible straight, and again both players checked.
The all-in player showed

for king high. Zhang turned over 
for the best unpaired hand of the three, and he dragged a surprising pot for such a modest hand.
Blinds just went up to 500-1,000 with an ante of 100.
