Level 34
: 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Hand One:

The 3♦ river saw Zhou check again. Nazarov bet out 1,400,000 and Zhou snap-called. Nazarov tabled A♥J♦, which sent Zhou's cards into the muck.
Hand Two:
A few hands later, Nazarov raised to 500,000 from the button, again. Zhou three-bet to 2,450,000, from the big blind, and Nazarov moved all in, putting Zhou to the test for a total of 8,950,000. Zhou rechecked his cards before making a frustrated fold.
