Zhao Saved By Ladys' Luck

Level 9 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

A late position player raised to 40,000, and Perry Zhao thought for a minute before raising it to 100,000. The players behind him folded and it was back to the original raiserm, who announced he was all in. Zhao quickly called and the cards were tabled with Zhao at risk.

Perry Zhao: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Late Position: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

It looked like Zhao was about to be eliminated but his saving grace came right on the {10-Spades}{q-Spades}{8-Hearts} flopand the following cards of {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} secured his victory in the hand for a nice double.

"I just had a good feeling about that one," Zhao said as he was stacking up his newly acquired chips, jumping him to 630,000.
