Zhou Drills the Turn to Eliminate Zhang and Double Through Patrik
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Quan Zhou raised to 11,500 from early position, and Patrik Demus called from directly behind. Qiaochu Zhang then shoved for her last 18,000 from the hijack and action folded back around to Zhou, who went all in for slightly more. Demus called, having both players covered, and a three-way showdown was held.
Qiaochu Zhang: K♣K♦
Quan Zhou: 6♠5♠
Patrik Demus: 9♠9♣
Zhang was a solid favorite to triple up, but the 9♦4♥2♣ flop vaulted Demus into the lead with a set of nines.
Another twist of fate saw the 3♦ fall on the river to upgrade Zhou to a straight to take the lead.
The Q♥ river bricked out and Zhang was eliminated while Zhou dragged the monster pot.
