Zheng Loses Some to Zabiiakin
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Tamer Abdelzaher checked first from the small blind on a flop of 6♠8♦2♣. Xiaosheng Zheng bet 8,500 from under the gun with only Ivan Zabiiakin calling from middle position.
Heads-up now to the J♠ turn, where Zheng opted to slow down and check. Zabiiakin fired out 16,500 and Zheng flicked in the call.
Two checks followed the 10♦ river and Zheng revealed 9♦9♥ for a pair of nines. However, this was second best to the A♦J♦ of Zabiiakin for a turned pair of jacks.
