Ok make that two levels that I’ve folded almost every hand. WOW.
Phil Galfond and Hao Zhou were heads-up on a flop of 5♥4♥Q♥ with several thousand already in the middle.
Zhou check-called a 4,500 bet from Galfond and then check-called a 21,000 bet from Galfond on the 9♠ turn.
The K♠ completed the board and Zhou checked a final time. Galfond cut out a bet of 70,000 and placed it into the middle — sending Zhou deep into the tank.
Zhou eventually put in a call and Galfond tabled 2♥2♠. Zhou let out a sigh of relief and tabled A♥A♦ for a pair of aces to take down the large pot.
