Zha Busts One to Take Lead

China’s Weizhou Zha’s ascension to the top of the table is now complete – all he needs to do now is stay there.

Zha was helped in his climb by a player who gave us his name as ‘NBK’ but we’re pretty sure that’s not what his mother calls him.

The fact is irrespective anyway as Mr. NBK is no longer in the running after opening to 2,600 from under-the-gun and getting raised to the tune of 6,600. Mr. NBK moved all-in for 19,300 in total and with chips to spare Zha made the call.

The window saw NBK get to his feet and the rest of the flop would not see him re-take it anytime soon. The turn was not the eight he needed to survive, and neither was the river and that was that.
