First Pot for Zhang
Level 35
: 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
The tournament's director brought the coveted gold bracelet to the table and the first hand of the head's up was dealt.
Guy Hadas completed his small blind and Eric Zhang raised it to 1,400,000. It was enough to make Hadas fold and Zhang took down the first pot of the head's up.
A few minutes later, Hadas raised to 1,300,000 and Zhang made the call to see a flop 
. Zhang check-called for 800,000 and a 
appeared on the turn. The same action happened, this time for 1,600,000.
The river was the 
and Zhang led out for 3,600,000. After some thinking, Hadas decided to fold.
