Altman Doubles Through Zhu

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Brian Altman defended big blind from a Yueqi Zhu hijack open and checked the {k-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop. Zhu bet 80,000 and Altman made it 200,000. Zhu called after some thought and the {j-Clubs} fell. Altman bet 325,000 and Zhu quickly shoved all in for 880,000 more. Altman snapped it off with {a-Clubs}{2-Spades} for trips, and Zhu was drawing thin with {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}, having turned a pair. The {6-Diamonds} river sent the pot to Altman.

Ralph Massey wandered over and said something we didn't hear to Altman.

"Easy come, easy go," Altman said with a smile.
