Zhao Makes a Big Call to Double Off Kirby-Hogarty
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Heads-up on a board of 7♣K♦Q♠5♣, Tobias Kirby-Hogarty bet 13,300 from the button and Cheng Zhao called in the big blind.
The river was the 5♥, and Kirby-Hogarty moved all in, sending Zhao deep into the tank. He took several minutes, counting out the rest of his stack and apologizing to his tablemates.
"No problem," a few of them replied. Zhao eventually called for his last 48,800, and Kirby-Hogarty showed A♣9♠ for ace-high.
"Yes," Zhao muttered as he turned over J♣J♦ to take the pot, much to the amazement of the other players at the table.
