Zhang Crashes And Burns Out Of Contention

Zilong Zhang opened to 200,000 from middle position and was called by Cedrric Trevino in the big blind.

Trevino checked on the flop and then raised to 470,000 when Zhang continued for 180,000. After some thought Zhang called.

The turn saw Trevino take over the betting lead, firing off 1,640,000, enough to force Zhang all in. After tanking for nearly two minutes, Zhang called it off to put himself at risk.

Zilong Zhang:
Cedrric Trevino:

Zhang was in bad shape as many of his potential outs were covered by Trevino holding a club. The river bricked out , ending what has certainly been a memorable main event journey for Zhang, though one that will inevitably be tainted with disappointment considering he came into the day with nearly double the tournament average.
