Zhong Takes the Lead After Flopping Set
Level 32
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jiaming Zhao opened to 100,000 from under the gun with A♦10♥ and was called by Xuecong Wu holding Q♥J♦ in the cutoff, Weizheng Zhong with 2♠2♦ on the button, and Jin Zeng in the small blind holding 5♠5♦ for a four-way pot.
Zeng checked to Zhao on the A♥6♥2♣ flop and he continued for 230,000 with his ace. Only Zhong called holding a set.
The 4♦ fell on the turn and Zhao barreled for 460,000. Zhong again called.
Zhao slowed down and checked on the Q♣ river and Zhong bet 1,100,000. Zhao tanked, but eventually made the call and Zhong turned over the good to take the massive pot.
