Zhang Puts Van Rooij in Tank
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Merijn van Rooij open-raised to 80,000 in middle position. Yang Zhang fired a three-bet to 245,000 from the small blind, which Van Rooij called.
Zhang bet 125,000 on the 3♦3♣2♦ flop and 275,000 on the A♣ turn. Van Rooij matched the bet both times, after which the Q♥ river completed the board.
Zhang moved all in, covering Van Rooij's stack of 1,200,000. Van Rooij went deep into thought, taking a couple of minutes to think the hand through.
Eventually, after having apologized to the table for taking his time, Van Rooij tossed his cards into the muck, surrendering the pot to Zhang.
