One Move Left for Zhang
Level 2
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ivan Zhang raised to 4,000 from the small blind and Ami Barer called in the big blind. The flop came 9♠8♦2♣ and Zhang led out with a bet of 2,500. Barer called and the 4♥ landed on the turn.
Zhang checked this time and Barer announced a bet of 9,000. Zhang called and the 8♠ paired the board on the river. Zhang checked again and Barer splashed in a bet of 17,000. Zhang snapped him off and Barer tabled 10♠9♦ for the best hand.
"One move only now," Zhang said looking at his depleted stack of around 30,000 chips. Throughout the next few hands, Zhang indeed used only one move by shoving all in but picked up no callers.
