Zhang Puts a Dent in Kataev's Mountain
Level 20
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Dmitry Kataev raised from the button and then called the shove of Congya Zhang, who ripped in around 2,100,000 from the small blind.
Congya Zhang: Q♣J♠
Dmitry Kataev 10♥10♦
Zhang was flipping for her tournament life and took a huge leap to survival on the 9♠4♥Q♥ flop as she paired her queen. A 9♥ on the turn did give Kataev a flush draw, but the 2♠ river was as bricky as they come, earning Zhang the double.
