Lei Climbs Back Again
Level 22
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Jiaming Zhao raised to 200,000 in the hijack and Haitao Lei jammed all in for 730,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Zhao asked for a count before making the call.
Haitao Lei: K♠Q♠
Jiaming Zhao: A♦6♦
Zhao held a slight preflop edge but the flop of K♣J♦8♠ paired Lei to give him the lead. The 5♣ on the turn left Zhao drawing to just three outs and the 9♦ on the river was not one of them.
