Zheng Doubles up With an Ace on the River
Level 29
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Jiaming Zhao opened to 50,000 from early position and Zhanhui Zheng three-bet to 340,000 on the button — leaving himself a single t-5,000 chip behind. Zhao called.
The flop came K♦5♣10♥ and Zhao put Zheng all in. Zheng committed his last chip into the middle and hands were revealed.
Zhanhui Zheng: A♠Q♥
Jiaming Zhao: J♠J♦
"Hold, baby!" Zhao shouted upon seeing Zheng's hand.
The 5♠ turn was safe, which got another, "Hold!" from Zhao.
It was Zheng's lucky day, however, as the A♥ river left him best with a pair of aces while Zhao could only groan at the result.
