Zha Doubles Through Burns, Burns Quadruples up

Action folded around to Weizhou Zha the very first hand after the break and Simon Burns is the only other player on the table with nearly the same size stack so Zha can be forgiven for shoving as Burns would need a decent hand to make the call.

Unfortunately for Zha the UK player had one and made a quick call.

Weizhou Zha:
Simon Burns:

However, poker being a game where luck does occasionally play a factor, the flop fell to give Zha the lead in the hand. The turn was no help and Zha made two pair when the landed on the river.

A non-plussed looking Burns dropped down to 175,000 while Zha climbed to 1.3 million.

Michael Soyza made it 180,000 to go the very next hand from middle position and Weizhou Zha made the call from the button before Burns got the last of his chips in from the small blind. Zhong Yuan Hang also made the call and the action went four-way to a flop which was checked around, as was the turn.

Soyza led for a tickly little 80,000 bet on the river folding out everyone except Burns, who was all in. Soyza turned over but could not best the UK players’ turned trip sevens and Burns quadrupled to 850,000.
