Zhang Rockets to Double-Up
Level 6
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Zhuoqun Zhang open-raised to 10,000 under the gun. Fahredin Mustafov was next to act and three-bet to 30,000, after which the action folded back to Zhang. He four-bet to 81,000, and Mustafov called.
Zhang then checked the 10♠3♥J♣ flop to Mustafov, who claimed the initiative with a bet of 35,000. Zhang called to the 3♠ turn, where he was put all in by Mustafov.
Zhang quickly check-called for 149,000, and the players flipped up their cards.
Zhuoqun Zhang: A♦A♣
Fahredin Mustafov: Q♥Q♣
Mustafov had just two outs against Zhang's aces, and neither of them arrived on the J♠ river. Zhang doubled up, while Mustafov still had over two starting stacks in his possession.
