Zhu Boats Up on Wilms
Level 3
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Laura Dowell made it 700 from the hijack before Karen Wilms called from the cutoff. Jingtao Zhu re-raised to 3,000, which was enough to get a fold from Dowell. Wilms was not done with the hand and made the call.
The flop was all spades when it came A♠Q♠J♠. Wilms checked it over to Zhu, who bet 5,000. Dowell responded with a check-raise all-in, and Zhu called to put herself at risk for 12,800 total.
Jingtao Zhu: Q♦Q♥
Karen Wilms: 9♠8♠
Zhu hit her set on the flop, but was outdone by the flush of Wilms.
That all changed on the turn when the A♦ peeled to give Zhu a full house. Wilms was still alive, however, as she could still hit a straight flush.
It did not come to pass as the 7♥ hit the river to award Zhu the pot as Wilms was left on fumes.
