Zhang Cements His Lead
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Gary Thompson raised to 16,000 in the hijack and was called by Ivan Zhang and Ami Barer in the blinds. The flop came K♦J♣2♥ and the blinds checked to Thompson who bet 18,000. Zhang check-raised to 56,000 which got Barer to fold but Thompson still called.
The turn was the 10♦ and Zhang checked again. Thompson announced a bet of 70,000 and Zhang check-raised all in as the big stack. Thompson used two of his time banks and then released his cards to the muck.
