Zhu's Kings Hold to End Xu's Run
Level 23
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Pocket kings have been responsible for several knockouts today, and Fangzhou Zhu continued the trend in a recent hand.
Zhu opened from early position and it was folded to Jinhao Xu, who shoved for approximately 200,000 from the small blind. Zhu called and the board was run.
Jinhao Xu: A♣Q♣
Fangzhou Zhu: K♥K♠
The 3♣5♣8♠ flop gave Xu a real sweat with a flush draw in addition to his ace, but the 3♦ turn and 3♥ river bricked out — eliminating Xu from the tournament as pocket kings continue to be a hot hand today.
