Zhi Wu
Zhi Wu

Zhi Wu raised from middle position and then called a three-bet from the player in the big blind.

Once the {2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop hit the felt, the big blind player moved all in and Wu snap-called.

Zhi Wu: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Wu was out in front with his pocket aces and neither the {3-Spades} turn nor the {3-Diamonds} river changed a thing, as he eliminated his opponent.
