A Big Pair and a High Score in Scrabble

Limit Hold'em:

A player in early position opened for a raise and Yueqi Zhu reraised. When it came back to the small blind, he three bet it, and both opponents called.

The flop came out {K-Spades}

. The small blind checked, the early position player bet, and Zhu raised. The blind folded, but the other player came along.

The turn was the {3-Clubs}

, pairing the board. Again, the player led out, Yueqi Zhu raised it up, and his opponent called.

Fifth street brought the {6-Diamonds}

. Check to Zhu, who bet all in for 200 chips. His opponent called, showing down {A-Hearts}

. Zhu confidently opened up his hand: the {K-Hearts}

gave him the big boat and doubled him up to about 3,600.

That's not all he has going for him though. Yueqi Zhu likely has the highest-scoring Scrabble name in the room, worth 32 points.
