Zhang Gets Cute
Level 27
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Wayne Zhang recently got very sneaky in a hand, and it paid off. It was a battle of the blinds, with Zhang limping the small and Walton checking his option in the big. The flop came down 
, which Walton bet for 80,000 when Zhang checked the action over.
The Chinese player called and the 
landed on the turn, with the action going check, check. The 
river saw Zhang check again, and Walton decided to fire for 250,000, though he probably now wishes he could take that back. Zhang called quickly and Walton tapped the table before turning over 
for bottom pair and a missed open ender.
The whole table was surprised when Zhang rolled over his slowplayed 
to take the pot. Crafty moves.
