button in SafariDiamonds are Zhang's Best Friend
A player from middle position went all-in for his last 2,100. He was called by Rafael Lopez-Reyes from the hijack and Bowen Zhang from the cutoff. Zachary Roe joined the party with a call on the button.
The 10♠6♦J♠ flop led to a check from Lopez-Reyes. Zhang bet 2,000 and was called only by Roe.
Zhang bet a second time on the 7♦ turn, this time for 5,500.
"What are you doing?" asked Roe before he raised to 12,000 in response. Zhang three-bet shoved it for approximately 41,000.
"He's all-in?" posited Roe. "Well, I call." Roe put himself at risk with the call as Zhang had him covered with one card to go.
Middle Position: Q♦9♠
Zachary Roe: 10♣7♣
Bowen Zhang: A♦J♦
Zhang had the lead on the flop with a pair of jacks, but Roe revealed that he hit the turn to take the lead with two pair. Zhang was far from out of it, as he could draw to a better two pair or trips, and also had a flush draw to go with it.
The flush draw ended up being the critical factor as the 3♦ hit the river to give Zhang the best hand and eliminate both Roe and the opponent in middle position in the process.
