Zhang Holds to Double Against Keating
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Alex Keating raised from early position to 45,000. The table folded to Congya Zhang in the cutoff, who opted to go all in for her final 155,000. Keating gave it some thought before he decided on a call to put Zhang at risk.
Congya Zhang: A♣7♣
Alex Keating: K♥J♠
Zhang held the slight edge preflop with ace high, and the flop did not compromise that as it came 4♥6♦6♥.
The 3♥ gave Zhang unnecessary outs to a straight with the leading hand, and the A♠ on the river punctuated the hand in Zhang's favor to award the double.
