Zhao Holds On With a Small pair
Level 2
: Blinds 400/600, 600 ante
From the cutoff, Cheng Zhao checked the turn on a board of 4♠6♣6♦Q♣, and faced a near pot-sized bet of 16,000 by Mustafa Biz on the button. Zhao took a few moments, then made the call.
Zhao checked the action over to Biz on the 8♦ river, and Biz decided to check it back. Zhao revealed a pair of fives with 5♥5♦, prompting Biz to tap the table and muck.
