Zhang Goes Huge on River

The action was joined as Dianlei Zhang and John Short were competing for a pot worth roughly 150,000.

The board had been dealt to the turn, showing 7♥8♦A♣5♥.

Short, playing from the small blind, checked over to Zhang, who put out a bet of 80,000. After spending some time in the tank, Short decided to call.

The river then brought the 3♥, and Short checked again. Zhang then pushed in three towers of chips, worth 345,000.

Short's decision was quicker this time. He advised his opponent that he thought he must have a set of aces, and then folded his cards.
