Zha Wins Big From Zhou
An interesting hand played out on the bubble between Quan Zhou and Weizhou Zha that saw the former take a big hit. Usually, it’s best not to battle with other big stacks at this stage of the tournament as a misstep can result in elimination and zero cash, but that has not stopped Zhou and Zha, who have been duking it out quite a bit recently.
We picked up the action on the turn with the board reading 
with over 100,000 already in the pot just as Zha fired out a bet of 60,000 from under-the-gun.
Zhou made the call on the button and the 
hit the river to complete the hand. While he took his time about it Zha decided to fire again and reached for chips, lots of chips, stacking two pink 25k chips on top of a tall tower of blue 5k chips and slid out a chunky bet of 160,000 – close to half of Zhou’s remaining stack.
This sent Zhou deep into the tank, where he remained for several minutes all while staring down Zha intently. Zhou had the call already counted out and was playing with his chips menacingly but Zha was not giving anything away.
Eventually, Zhou slid in the call but folded immediately when Zha turned over 
for a flopped two pair. Zhou took a bit of a hit there and dropped to 175,000 while Zha climbed to over 850,000 in chips.
