Zhang Finds a Double
Level 2
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Gary Thompson raised to 2,500 from under the gun and Ivan Zhang made it 7,000 on the button. Thompson called and they went heads-up to a flop of K♥Q♠9♥.
Thompson checked to Zhang who continued with a bet of 12,000 and Thompson called. The turn was the 3♠ and Thompson checked again. Zhang moved all in for 30,000 and Thompson instantly called.
Zhang turned over K♣9♣ for two pair but Thompson was still drawing live with K♠7♠ for a flush draw. The river was the 9♦ which improved Zhang to a full house and earned him a double up.
