Zha Picks Off Ting Ting
The unassuming Zhao Ting Ting looks as though butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth, but she is obviously capable of pulling off some ballsy plays if she thinks she can get away with it, as we have just discovered.
We caught the action on the river with a mountain of chips already in the pot with Weizhou Zha (under-the-gun) and Ting Ting (UTG+1) duking it out with the community cards spread 
.
While we have no idea what the previous betting was Zha had just checked the action over to Ting Ting, who fired for 300,000. With roughly 650,000 behind Zha had a big decision to make and seemed unsure of where he stood.
Zha quizzed Ting Ting relentlessly but she sat their impassively for a full five minutes while Zha pondered over his decision. Eventually Ting Ting opened her mouth, but it was to call for the clock.
Zha let this tick down to just 6-seconds before deciding to slam in the call and Ting Ting mucked instantly to shocked gasps from the rest of the table. They evidently thought Ting Ting was as sweet as we did. Ting Ting dropped down to 750,000 after that little misadventure while Zha climbed back up top over seven figures with a stack of 1.65 million.
