Ryan Lashmar
Ryan Lashmar
Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Ihar Soika opened to 30,000 and Zhao Cheng three-bet to 80,000 from the big blind. Soika four-bet to 155,000 and Cheng made the call.

The flop came Q♥5♦4♥. Cheng checked, Soika bet 55,000, Cheng raised all in for 255,000 and Soika called with a covering stack.

Zhao Cheng: A♣A♥
Ihar Soika: K♦K♥

Cheng was on the right side of a big cooler and stayed ahead on the 8♣ turn and 5♥ river to secure a full double up just two spots away from the money.
