Huge Double for Zimmerman
Level 12
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Joshua Zimmerman has an evening flight to Hong Kong booked and may have to forfeit it in case he runs very deep in this event. He doubled not long ago thanks to an ace on the river and now he scored another double in the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
Jizhong Wang opened to 30,000 from under the gun and Zimmerman three-bet to 130,000 from one seat over. Out of the big blind, Yake Wu simply shoved for nearly 2 million and Wang folded.
Zimmerman mentioned in table chat that he considered to "gamble" and indeed made the call for 826,000.

board delivered the ace on the flop while Wang said in Chinese in table chat he had folded ace-king.
