Zhang Takes Down Two
Jesse Yaginuma opened to 225,000 from middle position, leaving just 5,000 behind. Xinwen Zhang then shoved for 525,000 on the button, leaving Josue Aguirre Barrera with a difficult decision on a pay jump bubble. He took his time, and eventually another player at the table called the clock. With three seconds left, he pushed his 495,000 into the middle.
Zhang then flipped over her cards, as action went back on to Yaginuma, not knowing that he'd kept a chip in front of him. He then started tanking, and flicked in his remaining 5,000 after making a pay jump, despite knowing he was behind.
Jesse Yaginuma: A♣6♣
Josue Aguirre Barrera: 10♥10♦
Xinwen Zhang: K♣K♥
The flop was brutal for Yaginuma, who saw an ace in the window, flopped two pair, yet was still outflopped by Zhang when the board came down 6♥K♦A♥. The 8♠ left Aguirre Barrera drawing dead, and the J♣ led Yaginuma to the same fate, while Zhang more than doubled up, and was also handed two bounty chips
