Double Champion Zhang Sent to the Exit
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Congya Zhang, winner of both the Global Poker Championship and Women's Event, open-raised to 50,000 from under the gun and Aren Bezhanyan three-bet to 150,000 from the next seat. Zhang called.
The flop ran out 6♣6♠J♦ and Zhang checked. Bezhanyan bet 75,000 and Zhang called to see the 2♥ turn. Zhang checked again and Bezhanyan pushed out a stack of chips to the value of 145,000. Zhang check-raised all in and Bezhanyan called.
Zhang had J♣9♣ for two pair, jacks and sixes. Bezhanyan had A♣A♥ for two pair, aces and sixes.
The river came the 10♦ and Bezhanyan held to win the pot, sending Zhang to the exit. She'll have more opportunities to make it a treble in the coming starting flights.
