Zhou Cracks Valden's Aces

Ryan Lashmar

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Quan Zhou opened to 70,000 from the cutoff and Robert Valden three-bet to 220,000 from the small blind. Zhou called.

The flop came A♥2♥3♦. Valden shoved and Zhou called with a covering stack to put him at risk.

Robert Valden: A♦A♠7♦6♦ All in
Quan Zhou: K♥J♥10♦2♣

Valden remained ahead with top set on the 6♠ turn but the 8♥ river gave Zhou the nut-flush to send Valden to the rail.
