Zhang Spikes the River For Double Knockout
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Yang Zhang raised to 10,500 in early position before Domenico Paparo moved all in for 37,000 in the cutoff. Matthias Lipp then reshoved for 50,000 in the big blind. "I was ready to snap-call," Zhang said as he tanked for a moment before calling, having both players covered.
Domenico Paparo: Q♦J♥
Matthias Lipp: Q♣Q♥
Yang Zhang: A♠Q♠
"I guess no queen is coming," a tablemate said as the flop came 8♥J♠8♠. The 10♥ turn left Lipp a card away from a near-triple up, but Zhang caught the K♦ to make a straight and send both opponents to the exit.
