McKenna Puts Zhu in a Spot

Level 11 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Yueqi Zhu: {x-}{x-}/{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}/{x-}
Michael McKenna: {x-}{x-}/{k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}/{x-}

Yueqi Zhu increased the size of an already considerable pot with a bet on seventh street, and Michael McKenna raised. Zhu stood up and contemplated the decision for a bit before putting in the call.

Zhu threw down his cards in disgust when McKenna showed {9-}{5-}{j-Hearts}, good for the {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{9-}{5-Diamonds}{5-} full boat.
