Hu Flips Hunt to the Rail; Zhang, Urrea Race For a Massive Pot
Jerome Besselievre raised to 125,000 under the gun before Cameron Hunt moved all in for 500,000 in the hijack. Lulei Hu reshoved in the cutoff, and Besselievre got out of the way.
Cameron Hunt: 8♠8♦
Lulei Hu: A♣Q♥
Hunt was racing for his tournament life, but Hu hit top pair on the Q♦10♠5♦ flop to take the lead. The rest of the board ran out J♣6♣ and Hunt was sent to the rail.
At the same time at another table, the biggest pot of the tournament so far was taking place as Borja Urrea and Yang Zhang got all in their chips in the middle before the flop.
Borja Urrea: 10♦10♥
Yang Zhang: A♠K♥
It was a massive flip, and Zhang took the lead on the A♥Q♠9♦ flop with top pair. The board ran out J♥2♦ and Zhang secured the pot.
The stacks were counted down, and Zhang had Urrea's remaining 3,600,000 covered to send his opponent to the rail.
