Big Stack Versus Bigger Stack
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Two of the ranking chip leaders, Yang Zhang and Bruno Fuentes, went head-to-head, or more like elbow-to-elbow in a battle of the blinds.
The action started on a flop of K♠4♣K♥. Fuentes bet 80,000. Zhang, sitting to his immediate left, raised the pot to 240,000. Fuentes upped it to 430,000, which Zhang quickly called.
The turn was the 5♠. Fuentes paused for a minute, then checked. Zhang grabbed 10 blue chips to bet one million.
Fuentes folded.
Hung Vo, seated on the other side of the table from the big stacks, chimed in. "Show the hand, please," he said. "That's a lot of drama. We need to see it."
