Ivan Zhang
Ivan Zhang

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 KQ9.

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 K9 for two pair but Thompson was still drawing live with K7 for a flush draw. The river was the 9 which improved Zhang to a full house and earned him a double up.

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 982 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 109 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.
