Zhang Stays In It
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jason Zhang opened the action from early position with a raise all in for his stack of 87,000. It then folded to Graham Mortimore in the cutoff who made the call. Action then folded around, leaving the players heads up, with Zhang at risk.
Jason Zhang: K♥J♥ 
Graham Mortimore: A♠Q♦
It was a fair fight, but Zhang would need to improve past the ace high of Mortimore to stay in the tournament. When the board ran out 5♣9♠8♥J♠4♥ he did just that, as he turned a jack to secure the double up.
