Zhao Takes the Lead
Level 32
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
William Jia opened to 110,000 from early position with A♥Q♠ and was called by Weizheng Zhong in the cutoff holding A♣J♦ and Jiaming Zhao in the big blind with Q♥10♠.
Action checked through on the 6♣8♦2♠ flop and Zhao checked again to William, who bet 200,000 on the Q♣ turn. Zhong folded and Zhao called.
The 10♦ river improved Zhao to two pair and he led out for 700,000. Jia called and Zhao showed him the bad news to overtake the chip lead.
