Zhou Takes the Lead Back from Rafael
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.
