Ferrari Applying Maximum Pressure
Lukas van Eeden raised to 500,000 from the cutoff with Q♠10♠, facing resistance from Manuel Ferrari, who, from the small blind, three-bet to 1,700,000 with A♣K♥. Van Eeden elected not to involve himself any further, folding his hand when the action returned to him.
The very next shuffle, Ferrari raised again, making it 500,000 to go on the button with K♦5♦. Xiaosheng Zheng called from the small blind with 7♥7♣.
The 4♦3♣2♣ flop saw Zheng check, and Ferrari continued with a bet of 600,000. Zheng called, and the dealer added the 3♥ to the board. There was no slowing Ferrari down, who, after Zheng checked, bet 1,800,000. Undeterred, Zheng called again.
The 2♠ completed the board, and Zheng checked a third time. This time, after using a time extension, Ferrari emptied the clip, moving all-in for 16,100,000, and having Zheng's 8,450,000 well covered.
Zheng utilised two time extensions while pondering how to respond, and as the second extension ticked down, he chose to let go of his cards, seeing Ferrari scooped in another pot with his king-high bluff.
