Zhou Keeps Climbing, Zulker in the Danger Zone

Adam Lamers

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Javier Francort raised to 875,000 in the hijack and Quan Zhou flat-called in the cutoff. Michael Zulker stared at his cards for at least 30 seconds in the small blind and then decided to fold, leaving himself on the short stack.

The flop came Q♣Q♦7♠ and Francort check-called a bet of 875,000 from Zhou. The turn brought the A♣ and both players checked to the 6♥ on the river. Two more checks and Francort tabled A♥K♥K♣Xx for two pair but Zhou flopped trips with Q♥J♣J♦10♥.

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of Q♦7♠2♦ and around 650,000 in the middle, Sean Rafael checked from the big blind and called a 450,000 bet from Quan Zhou in the hijack.

Rafael check-called a 1,275,000 bet from Zhou on the A♦ turn before both players checked the A♣ river. Rafael said he had a queen, but Zhou showed K♣K♥8♦8♠ for kings-up to win the hand.

A couple of hands later, Zhou double-barreled out of position in a heads-up pot against Michael Zulker on a board of 3♦Q♣3♠6♥, getting a fold on the turn to take another decent pot, this time without showdown.

Player	Chips	Progress
Quan Zhou	14,500,000 4,500,000	4,500,000

Sean Rafael	13,600,000 1,300,000	1,300,000
