Soyza Busts Yang Zhang
Level 8
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Yang’s tournament has come to a close and it was Malaysia’s Michael Soyza the man to send him to the rail. Down to 181,000 in chips, Zhang opened the action with a raise to 11,000 from middle position with pocket tens and action folded around to Soyza in the big blind.
We have seen Soyza punish those who dare to attack his big blind and this time was no exception, with the Malaysian player re-popping it to 35,000. Zhang shoved and Soyza made a quick call with ace-king and it was off to the races.
Soyza paired his king on the flop and there was no ten to be seen so the field is now down to 41 players and it is Michael Soyza who is leading with a stack of 760,000.
