Zhu Finishes Off Eidmann, Crosses 500,000
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
This is getting a bit ridiculous now.
Connor Zhu's latest incredible trick as he runs away with the chip lead saw him eliminate Tom Eidmann, who eliminated Zhu on his first bullet before he went on his insane second bullet run.
The cards were on their backs and Zhu was dragging another 100,000+ chip pot as Eidmann was leaving the table.
As retold by the table, Zhu jammed from the small blind on a 
flop and was snap-called by Eidmann in late position. Despite being in awful shape, Zhu would again find a way to scoop the pot.
Tom Eidmann: 
Connor Zhu: 
Zhu's aggression got him caught as his ace-high was well behind Eidmann's set of threes.
That wouldn't stop the young sun-runner, as the dealer then dropped the 
on the turn and the 
on the river to give Zhu a running Broadway straight to eliminate Eidmann in horrific fashion and extend his already massive chip lead.

Zhu Can't Lose
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Connor Zhu is threatening to run away with the tournament on Day 1, as he's amassed a huge chip lead already, with over double the next biggest stack in the room.
In a recent hand, he raised to 5,000 under the gun and was called by a player in the hijack.
The players checked the 
flop, then on the 
turn, Zhu checked and his opponent fired out a pair of yellow T-1,000 chips for a bet of 2,000.
Zhu called, then checked the 
river. His opponent quickly checked back and Zhu showed for king-high, which was good, as his opponent flashed queen-high.

Clark Takes From Troha
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
With approximately 24,000 in the middle on the turn, and the board reading 
, Cassidy Clark bet 12,000 from the big blind and was called by Sean Troha under the gun.
The river brought the 
, and Clark kept firing, this time for 20,000. Troha didn't seem to love it, but he folded his hand correctly as Clark showed for a full house to boost his stack into six-figure territory.
