Madeira Send Zhang Into the Tank
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Pedro Madeira raised from the cutoff and Yang Zhang defended the big blind.
The flop came 9♥2♥7♠. Both players checked it to the 4♠ turn. Zhang led for 205,000. Madeira raised to 650,000 which Zhang took his time to consider before calling.
The river came the 5♣ to straighten the board out even more. Madeira announced a bet of 1,200,000, leaving himself with only about 550,000 behind.
Zhang went into the tank and took close to four minutes before he silently slid his cards into the muck.
