Zheng Beats Ruijs With the Same Hand
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Joris Ruijs raised to 120,000 from early position and Michael Dwyer called on the button. Xiaosheng Zheng squeezed to 550,000 from the small blind, which only Ruijs called, as Dwyer folded 7♦7♥.
The monotone 10♠6♠9♠ flop came down, and Zheng elected to lead out for 225,000. Ruijs wasn't going anywhere yet as he put in the call.
The 9♦ paired the board, and both players checked to see the 5♠ river. Another two checks followed and Zheng won the pot with A♥J♠ for a rivered flush, beating Ruijs' A♦J♦.
