'Tarzan' Goes Bananas and Gets There
Level 19
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Yuxi Huang raised under the gun to 60,000, with 'Tarzan' calling from the small blind and Iurii Okolovich coming along in the big blind.
'Tarzan' decided to lead for 105,000 on the 8♠2♥4♦ flop. Okolovich folded, but Huang elected to continue via a call.
'Tarzan' fired a second barrel of 260,000 when the 5♦ appeared on the turn, and Huang called once more.
The 7♠ completed the board, and 'Tarzan' slid 725,000 into the middle, which represented almost all of Huang's stack.
After thinking for more than three minutes, Huang folded, prompting 'Tarzan' to triumphantly table 9♦6♥, revealing that he had backed into an unlikely straight.
