Barer Doubles Through Zhang
Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ivan Zhang raised to 12,000 in the cutoff and Ami Barer shoved all in for 87,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Zhang quickly called to put Barer at risk.
Ami Barer: K♠Q♠
Ivan Zhang: A♦Q♦
Zhang held a dominating preflop lead but the flop of 10♠6♠5♥ gave Barer a flush draw to work with. The 9♣ on the turn gave him some additional outs and he needed them as the J♦ hit the river to give Barer a straight and a full double up.
