Zhu Gets Revenge on Eidmann

Mike Patrick

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Earlier in the tournament, Tom Eidmann busted Connor Zhu, sending him to the cage for a second bullet. Zhu has stuck around with his new stack and recently doubled up through his earlier executioner.

With 18,100 in the pot on a board, Zhu moved all in for his last 18,800 from the small blind and was called by Eidmann in late position.

Zhu's full house had Eidmann drawing dead as he boosted his stack to near double its starting size.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

With 17,000 in the middle on a turn board of , Vincent Tran was put to a decision in the hijack for his last 17,200 chips by Joe Gugliotta in middle position.

Tran opted to call and he'd need some help.

Vincent Tran:
Joe Gugliotta:

Tran's queen wouldn't help him as it would give Gugliotta a straight. Regardless, the on the river didn't help him either as Gugliotta dragged the meaty pot to boost his stack to one of the largest in the room.
