Zyrin Doubles and Gets Three Quarters

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Danny Chang raised to 300,000 in the small blind and Anatolii Zyrin called in the big blind. The flop came {9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Chang bet 700,000. Zyrin pushed his last 1,180,000 into the middle and Chang called.

Zyrin flipped over {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} which was leading Chang's {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Chang had some outs to scoop but the {q-Diamonds} on the turn and the {2-Hearts} on the river allowed Zyrin to double up.

A couple of hands later, Chang made it 250,000 in the small blind and Zyrin re-raised to 750,000. Chang called and the flop fell {k-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}. Chang bet the pot and Zyrin jammed all in for 2,310,000 which Chang called.

Zyrin showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Chang had outs to scoop again with {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. The {6-Diamonds} on the turn and the {3-Spades} on the river gave Zyrin three-quarters of the pot as he increased his stack once again.

Zyrin Doubles Through Chang

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

On a flop of {4-Hearts}{5-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, Danny Chang bet enough to put Anatolii Zyrin all-in and was called.

The hands were tabled and it was the {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} held by Chang that led the {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} held by Zyrin.

The turn card was an {a-Spades} and opened extra doors for Zyrin.

The river card {3-Spades} was one of those doors, and Zyrin scooped with a wheel and chipped up to 1,175,000.

Up and Down for Zyrin

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Danny Chang raised to 350,000 on the button and Anatolii Zyrin called from the small blind. The flop came {k-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Chang bet enough to put Zyrin all in for his last 400,000 chips. Chang showed {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Zyrin held {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}.

The turn was the {7-Clubs} and the river brought the {7-Hearts} to give Chang the best low hand and the two players chopped the high hand, leaving Zyrin with just under 400,000.

A couple of hands later, Zyrin raised to 350,000 on the button and was called by Josh Arieh and Chang. The flop came {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Arieh led out for 100,000. Chang raised to 1,000,000 and Zyrin stuck in the last of his 65,000 chips. Arieh contemplated but elected to fold.

Chang showed {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for two pair and a flush draw while Zyrin held {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} for a straight draw and a low draw. The {4-Spades} on the turn changed nothing but the {8-Diamonds} on the river gave Zyrin half the pot.

Dan Colpoys

Dan Colpoys moved all-in on a flop of {8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{9-Spades} and was snap-called by Danny Chang.

The hands were tabled and it was the {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades} for a top set of eights held by Chang that was in the lead against the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} held by Colpoys.

The dealer burned and turned the {k-Clubs} and Chang remained ahead.

The river card was the {q-Hearts} and that locked up the hand for Chang, which eliminated Colpoys in 4th place for which he took home $146,817 in cash.
