Zhang Takes the Lead
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Dominik Nitsche raised to 16,000 from under the gun and was called by Charles Chao on the button. Ivan Zhang reraised to 64,000 in the small blind and both Nitsche and Chao called.
The flop fell J♠J♥5♣ and Zhang led out with a bet of 130,000. Nitsche called and Chao got out of the way. The turn was the 10♠ and Zhang shipped all in for around 230,000. Nitsche looked back at his cards and dumped them in the muck, sending a healthy pot and the chip lead to Zhang.
