Wu Strikes Lightning on the Turn to Double Through Zhong
Level 36
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Xuecong Wu shoved for 4,200,000 on the button and Weizheng Zhong tanked for a while before deciding to stick in a call and put Wu at risk.
Xuecong Wu: 4♠4♦
Weizheng Zhong: K♦Q♥
It was a race for it all, and the 8♦K♣5♥ flop immediately paired Zhong's king to put Wu's tournament life in dire straits.
The Poker Gods had other thoughts, however, as the 4♥ turn improved Wu to an unbeatable set of fours to seal his double up.
An irrelevant 2♥ completed the board and Wu was awarded the double up to take back the lead.
