Zhang Gives up to Jouhkimainen

Laura Fryer
Laura Fryer
Level 5 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Chuan Hao Zhang opened from early position, and Joni Jouhkimainen three-bet to 12,000 from the cutoff. Zhang called, and the players saw the 3♥6♦3♠ flop.

Zhang check-called a 9,000 bet by Jouhkimainen, and the pair were taken to the 2♥ turn.

Both made quick checks to the K♦ river, and Zhang check-raised to 95,000 after Jouhkimainen bet 25,000. Jouhkimainen reraised to 200,000, and Zhang mucked, leaving himself with just 26,000 behind.
