Zhou Hits the River to Take the Chip Lead
Level 22
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Johan Guilbert raised to 400,000 under the gun and Quan Zhou called on the button with 9♥9♦, while Tom Vogelsang also defended 8♣7♣ in the big blind.
Vogelsang led out for 500,000 on the 8♥6♥4♦ flop and only Zhou called. The 7♥ turn improved Vogelsang to two pair as both players checked.
The river was the 10♣ and Vogelsang checked again. Zhou then bet 1,375,000 with his rivered straight, and Vogelsang quickly folded his two pair.
