Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Jike Zhang shoved for her final 2,400 from the cutoff before Jody Kootenay made the call in the big blind to put Zhang at risk.

Jike Zhang: 5♠4♠All in
Jody Kootenay: A♠J♦

Kootenay was in the lead as they went to a runout, and stayed in the lead on the 7♥9♠10♠ flop.

Zhang found one of her cards when the 5♣ came on the turn to take the lead.

The 4♣ river improved Zang to two pair as Zhang earned the much-needed double up.
