Short Stacks Tangle
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Xiaosheng Zheng opened to 525,000 in the cutoff. Michael Dwyer, similarly short-stacked, defended in the big blind before checking the 5♠J♣5♦ flop.
Zheng checked back, and the duo both knuckled the table again on the 3♥ turn. The 2♠ river was also checked, and Dwyer tabled 9♠8♥, which Zheng bested with K♣9♥ to take the pot.
