Moreno Chops Down Zhang
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Andrew Moreno opened the action with a raise to 24,000 from the cutoff. Haixia Zhang re-raised to 55,000 from the button. Moreno responded with a three-bet to 102,000, which led to a four-bet all-in from Zhang. Moreno quickly called to be at risk for 320,000.
Andrew Moreno: K♠K♦
Haixia Zhang: 5♠5♦
Moreno needed to fade the five, and that is exactly what happened when the board ran A♦6♠A♠8♣10♣ to award Moreno the double and put a dent in the stack of Zhang, who had been in the top ten chip counts all of Day 2 up until this loss.
