Zhao Catches Holskyi Speeding for Huge Double-Up

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Konstantyn Holskyi raised under the gun, placing 12,000 chips in the middle. Jiaming Zhao called in the hijack, as did Adria Calonge on the button.

The 3KJ flop was fanned, on which the action checked to Zhao. He fired 20,000, seeing Calonge call. Holskyi had other plans, however, and raised to 85,000. Zhou called, after which Calonge decided to get out of the way.

Holskyi pushed 100,000 over the line on the 10 turn, with Zhao calling again. The 10 river seemed to slow down Holskyi, as he opted to check. Zhao then bet 150,000, to which Holskyi responded with an all-in raise.

Zhoa had been put at risk for his 646,000 remaining chips, but he made a quick call, triumphantly showing down 33 for bottom full house as Holskyi could only show KJ for top two pair.

Zhao doubled to the chiplead while Holskyi was left short-stacked as the players went on break.
