Zhou Hits the Nuts to Take the Chip Lead
Level 24
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Quan Zhou limped in from the hijack with 10♦9♣8♥7♥, Jeremy Trojand came along with K♦6♣4♣3♦ in the small blind, and Aren Bezhanyan checked A♣Q♦J♣4♦.
All three players checked the A♠7♣5♣ flop. The 6♥ turn gave Zhou a straight and he bet 250,000. Both opponents called.
Zhou improved to a higher straight on the 9♦ river and bet another 800,000. Trojand and Bezhanyan both folded this time as Zhou took the pot to move into the chip lead.
