Schumacher Felted by Taylor

Christian Zetzsche

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

There were two players on neighbouring tables who essentially pushed all-in and kept a single chip behind while on the pay jump. One of them was Johan Schumacher in the cutoff, who had invested 1,550,000 with 5,000 behind. On the button, Andy Taylor pushed all-in to isolate and Schumacher went into the tank.

While glancing over at the other table and even asking if there was an all-in and call, he grabbed his smart phone and typed a few messages in WhatsApp before then calling it off following the double-up of the other player.

Johan Schumacher:
Andy Taylor:

The Brit took the lead on the flop and retained it throughout the turn as well as the river, sending Schumacher to the rail.

Zhang Crashes And Burns Out Of Contention

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

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.

Cedrric Trevino	5,600,000 2,100,000	2,100,000
