River Saves Zhang
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
David Rees limped in from the small blind and Honghao Zhang checked his option in the big blind.
Rees bet 300,000 on the 8♥6♣5♥ flop and called when Zhang made it 800,000. On the 8♣ turn, Rees check-jammed over a bet of 1,300,000 as the bigger stack. Zhang quickly called.
Honghao Zhang: 8♠7♥
David Rees: K♦8♦
Both players had trips, but Rees' kicker put him ahead. However, the 6♦ river double-paired the board and the pot was chopped.
