Chufarin Busts Zhang
Level 3
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Denys Chufarin opened to 10,000 in the hijack, and Yu Zhang made the call on the button. Miguel Capriles came along in the small blind, and Daniel Rezaei tossed in a call from the big blind.
Action checked to Chufarin on the J♣A♠9♣ flop, who continued for 23,000. Zhang was the only caller to see the 2♣ turn, where Chufarin checked.
Zhang slid out a bet of 65,000, and Chufarin asked to confirm that his opponent had only 62,000 behind. After using a time bank card, Chufarin raised enough to cover Zhang, and the call was made.
Yu Zhang: K♣Q♠
Denys Chufarin: J♠J♥
Zhang needed a club other than the ace to survive, but did not improve on the 5♥ river. Chufarin's set of jacks held for the knockout.
