Zhao Saved by the River
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Moments after the restart, Gang Zhao jammed for 33,000 from under the gun and was called by Alisson Piekazewicz in the cutoff.
Gang Zhao: 7♠6♣
Alisson Piekazewicz: A♠8♦
Zhao flopped a straight draw with the 5♣4♠10♣ flop, but the A♣ turn gave top pair to Piekazewicz. The 8♥ river completed Zhao's straight and he doubled up.
