Zheng Picks Off Kardash
Level 5
: Blinds 500/1,500, 1,500 ante
Vyacheslav Kardash raised to 3,000 from the cutoff, and Xiaosheng Zheng three-bet to 13,000 from the small blind. Kardash elected to call.
Zheng checked after the dealer fanned the 8♠K♥J♣ flop, and Kardash took the opportunity to bet 8,500. Zheng called.
Both players checked the 6♥ turn to see the 3♠ river. Zheng checked once more and then called a bet of 18,500 from Kardash.
Kardash tabled a complete bluff with A♣5♣, but it was no good against the Q♦J♦ of Zheng, who took the pot with second pair.
