Battle of the Super High Roller Champs as Morris Leaves Zhang Short
Level 26
: 35,000/70,000, 70,000 ante
Michael Chi Zhang was playing from the under the gun position and up against Steven Morris who was on the button.
With the board showing 
, Zhang bet 295,000 into a pot of around 900,000. Morris was the bigger of the two stacks and moved all in. Zhang would have to risk his tournament life to call and thought for several minutes. Eventually, Morris' pressure was enough to get Zhang to fold.
Morris, who emulated Zhang by winning a partypoker LIVE Super High Roller event this week, was kind enough to show his opponent he held pocket-kings for a set and Zhang, in turn, revealed he had folded ace-ten.
