Paul Picks Zhang's Pocket
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Abhishek Paul raised to 25,000 from under the gun, and action folded around to Congya Zhang in the big blind who made the call.
The dealer peeled off the flop of Q♥2♦8♥ and Zhang check-called Paul's 24,000 continuation bet. Both players checked the 9♣ turn and saw the 4♦ drop on the river. Zhang checked over to Paul, who flipped out a 30,000 bet. Zhang thought for a while before making the call and instantly mucked her cards when Paul tabled A♠9♠ for second pair.
