Zheng's Kicker Earns Him a Double-Up
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Edward Quinn raised the button to 3,500 and Xiaosheng Zheng three-bet from the small blind to 15,000, when it got back to Quinn, he shoved, and Zheng called off his stack of 62,500.
Xiaosheng Zheng: A♦Q♥ 
Edward Quinn: A♠J♦
Zheng had his opponent out-kicked and it was the kicker that kept him in front on the 4♠9♣7♣ flop. A 9♠ on the turn did bring around some chop outs, but the 9♦ river meant Zheng's ace-high was better, and he doubled up.
