Zhang Turns The Straight
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Shotaro Kobayashi raised in late position to 3,000 and in the cutoff, Hongru Zhang three-bet to 9,000 and only Kobayashi called.
Both players checked the flop of 7♠8♥6♦ over to the turn 4♥ where Kobayashi check-called a bet of 5,000 from Zhang.
Kobayashi bet 8,000 on the river and Zhang wasted little time in calling.
At showdown Kobayashi showed 10♣10♠ for a pair of tens, but it was no good against Zhang's A♥5♥ for a straight.
