Zhu Stays Alive
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Play was already underway between the small blind, Jiacheng Zhu, and big blind, Travis Tate, with their chips and their cards in the middle of the table.
Jiacheng Zhu: K♠8♥
Travis Tate: K♦9♦
Tate was ahead with the superior king-high on the 10♦2♦3♣ flop. He also had a chance to improve his hand further with a flush draw.
It was looking grim for Zhu as the turn fell 7♣. But he avoided elimination when he hit the river 8♣ to make a pair.
